The frosting on top was the AWESOMESAUCE. It's a vanilla buttercream base with pureed strawberries added. It was all kinds of delicious.
The cake itself was really good. It called for chopped strawberries to be added to the cake batter. I sliced them. And I think I really should have chopped them. It would have distributed the strawberries better. The sliced ones tasted good, but some of the cupcakes cooked up lumpy and funny. No worries, they are going in my belly regardless.
These were a great change from the heavy chocolate and peanut buttery goodies i've been making lately. Not like there's anything wrong with chocolate and peanut butter. But if you want a taste of summer in your kitchen, mix up a batch of these babies. You won't regret it.

Love how you added strawberries to the frosting what a fun idea!!
Have a blessed day!!
LOL! My daughter and I were looking at your dessert recipes this past weekend. She asked, "How come all your recipes use peanut butter and chocolate?" I told her it's because peanut butter and chocolate are MEANT to be eaten together for dessert! She ended up making oatmeal cookies with butterscotch chips. Still good... but not as good at peanut butter and chocolate, lol!
The stawberry cupcakes look yummy too!
TFS, Mara!
