\"Strawberry
This easy strawberry shortcake dessert is packed with light and sweet flavors and includes a homemade strawberry whipped cream filling!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

For the batter, I use a variation of my tried and true vanilla cupcake recipe, adding fresh ripe berries and lemon zest. The better your berries taste, the better the strawberry shortcake cupcakes will taste.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"stirring
For the best strawberry shortcake cupcake results, be sure to use cold heavy cream for your whipped cream filling and frosting.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

The whipped cream on top is also made with fresh fruit. When piping the whipped cream (chantilly cream<\/a>), be sure to use a large piping tip. Otherwise, the finely diced strawberry bits could clog the tip.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also be sure that you’ve let the cupcakes cool completely to avoid melting any of the whipped cream.<\/p>\n\n\n

\"Strawberry
This easy strawberry shortcake recipe is great for a sweet and fruity treat any time, and perfect as a dessert for date night, an anniversary dinner, or Valentine’s Day!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

One of my favorite parts of these cupcakes is the surprise filling inside. To fill the cupcakes with the light strawberry filling, use a small pairing knife to core out a hole in the cupcake and spoon or pipe in strawberry whipped cream. (Read my guide on filled cupcakes<\/a> if you are new to this process.)<\/p>\n\n\n
