Hi, Do you know the servings for this recipe?

I think adding strawberry extract (if it exists) would probably help. I’ve tried a few fruit cupcakes and aside from banana, it’s kind of hard to get the flavor to be strong in the cupcake as well as the frosting.

I made these cupcakes tonight and being a professional chef I have to say that I felt there was definitely flavor lacking in the cupcake itself. I don’t like to cheat my customers with a cover up icing and no flavor in the cake. My rule of thumb is that the cake needs to taste great alone as well as the icing. I will say that the icing is pretty good. Will be working the recipe to add more strawberry flavor to the cupcake itself.

I made these and the blueberry cupcakes for my husband’s birthday, and they were a big hit! Here’s how they turned out: http://i.imgur.com/gcJ0T.jpg

Nikki - I'm not sure why that's happening, but this blog post has information about why cakes may sink in general: http://eggbeater.typepad.com/shuna/2009/02/why-do-cakes-sink.html

I’ve tried to make mini cupcake versions of these, but I’m finding the middle sinks once it comes out. None of my other cakes do this – just these? Any suggestion?
Thanks

Jen – I’m not sure why your icing isn’t working, but it helps to make sure the strawberry puree is completely cool, cream the butter until it’s fluffy, and add the liquid just a little bit at a time, stopping when it’s spreadable. Hope that helps!
