What ingredients for these strawberry lemon cupcakes?

These are simple ingredients, there is nothing complicated about this recipe. For the soft lemon base, these are classic ingredients for a cake: flour, baking powder, baking soda, sugar, butter, cream and lemon.

I advise you for this recipe to choose organic lemons well since we will use their zest and juice.

For the icing, this is a strawberry mascarpone whipped cream. So we need liquid cream, mascarpone, sugar and strawberries. Take them very ripe, they will be well scented! It's perfect for this recipe.

How to make strawberry cupcakes?

To make this recipe, we start by making compote strawberries to mash them. To do this, we heat them slightly and then put them in a blender before leaving to cool.

During this time, we prepare the lemon cake base. On one side we mix the dry ingredients, on the other we beat the eggs and the sugar then the butter. Little by little we incorporate the dry ingredients into the previous mixture. We finish with the cream, lemon juice and zest.

We pour the dough into paper boxes placed in a rigid muffin tin, then we put in the oven. They must then be allowed to cool before decorating.

Finally, we make the icing by whipping the cream, mascarpone and whipped sugar. We add the strawberry puree. Here it is ready!

For decoration, we fill a pastry bag with a fluted tip, for me it is the socket 1M. We decorate the cupcakes as we wish, without forgetting the whole strawberry on top!

    Good evening, I just made the recipe for these muffins and I must say that it is not a real success. I tried twice and the muffins did not come up… I have the impression that there is not enough flour… Isn't there a mistake?

      Hello, my cupcakes are flat once out of the oven, that's normal. This allows them to be easily decorated afterwards without cutting their top. How are yours?

    Hello,
    I just tested your recipe. That was delicious. On the other hand, once I added the strawberry puree to the whipped cream, the latter fell. What should I do to keep it firm like in your photos?
    Thanks in advance !

    Delicious cupcakes! We had a great time! Personally I did not use semi thick cream for the topping but full liquid cream, it worked very well making sure everything was extremely cold including the strawberry coulis. I also blocked the whipped cream with about 2 grams of gelatin sheets previously dissolved in 2 tablespoons of hot milk. I mixed this with part of the strawberry coulis before incorporating everything into the whipped cream, whipping everything back together. I blocked the frozen cupcakes for 15 minutes in the freezer before storing in the fridge. It was great because I was able to keep my cupackes in the fridge overnight without any problem and the whipped cream did not fall out at all.
    The cupcakes are light, delicious, to be redone !!

    Hello Hello! I fell in love ... I already tested 3 of your cupcake recipes (with strawberry, raspberry and oreos) and none of the 3 disappointed me !! The 3 were very easy to make and very quickly devoured! I shared with my relatives who particularly liked the strawberry cupcakes that I made by garnishing the cupcakes after baking with a heart of strawberry coulis
    I would like to know what size do your boxes please? I still had a little dough because my paper boxes are too small ...
    I will quickly test other of your recipes !!
    thank you in advance
