Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with cupcake liners.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
  • In a larger bowl, beat the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  • Add eggs one at a time, making sure each is fully mixed in, then stir in the vanilla extract.
  • Alternately add the dry ingredients and the milk to your butter mixture, stirring until just combined.
  • Gently fold in the white chocolate chips.
  • Spoon the batter evenly into your cupcake liners and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  • Let the cupcakes cool completely.

Filling

  • Prepare the filling by mixing the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth.
  • Stir in the strawberry jam and diced fresh strawberries.
  • Once the cupcakes are cooled, make a small hole in the center of each cupcake and fill it with the strawberry cream cheese mixture.

Frosting

  • For the frosting, beat the softened butter until creamy.
  • Gradually mix in the powdered sugar, blending in the vanilla extract, heavy cream, and melted white chocolate until your frosting is smooth and luscious.

Assembly

  • Generously pipe the frosting over each cupcake and garnish with extra white chocolate chips and fresh diced strawberries.

Notes

Ensure your butter and eggs are at room temperature for better mixing. Do not overmix the batter; stir until just combined for fluffy cupcakes. You can use frozen strawberries if fresh ones are not available; just thaw and drain any excess liquid. Feel free to substitute the white chocolate with milk or dark chocolate if you prefer a different flavor. You can also add shavings or chunks of chocolate to the batter for extra richness. Store your cupcakes in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the refrigerator for up to a week.
