Ingredients

CUPCAKES:

  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 4 egg whites
  • 1 1/3 cups water
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 box white cake mix
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup sour cream (8oz container)

FROSTING:

  • 1 cup butter, softened
  • 8 cups powdered sugar
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla
  • 8 ounces Cream cheese, softened
  • 2-4 tablespoons heavy cream

TOPPINGS

  • 12 Fresh Strawberries
  • 20 Golden Oreos
  • 3.4 oz box strawberry Jello powder
  • 4 tablespoons butter, melted

Instructions

CUPCAKES

Pre-heat oven to 325F.

In the bowl of a mixer, mix together the oil, egg whites, water, and vanilla. Mix on low for about 10 seconds.

In a large bowl, mix together cake mix, flour, sugar, and salt.

Slowly add the dry mix a little at a time. Mixing on low until everything is combined.

Add sour cream and mix well.

Mix well.

Line a muffin/cupcake tin with paper liners. Fill each cupcake liner about 3/4 full of batter.

Bake at 325F for 25 minutes. Remove from oven and cool.

FROSTING

Cream butter in the bowl of a mixer.

Add cream cheese and mix well.

Slowly add powdered sugar while mixing. Add vanilla and heavy cream and mix until combined.*

STRAWBERRY CRUNCH TOPPING

Roughly crush Golden Oreos and pour into a bowl.

Mix in strawberry Jello powder and melted butter.

Stir well.

DECORATING

I like to use a piping bag, fitted with a 2D Drop Flower Decorating Tip and to swirl the frosting onto the cupcakes.

Then sprinkle the strawberry crunch topping onto cupcakes.

Top each cupcake with a sliced strawberry.

Notes

*Add 1 tablespoon of heavy cream at a time until desired consisted is reached.
