Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/2 cup strawberry jam
- 1/2 cup cocoa powder
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For the Topping:
- 1/2 cup chocolate frosting
- 1/2 cup vanilla frosting
- 1/2 cup whipped cream (for filling)
- Chocolate shavings (for garnish)
Instructions
- Prep the Oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a cupcake tin with cupcake liners.
- Make the Batter: In a bowl, beat the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with milk, until smooth.
- Flavor the Layers: Divide the batter into three bowls: Mix cocoa powder into one for the chocolate layer. Stir strawberry jam into the second for the strawberry layer. Leave the third plain for the vanilla layer.
- Assemble & Bake: Layer the batters into the cupcake liners—start with chocolate, then strawberry, and finish with vanilla. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Let the cupcakes cool completely.
- Add the Filling & Frosting: Core a small hole in the center of each cooled cupcake and fill with whipped cream. Frost the cupcakes with a swirl of chocolate and vanilla frosting using a spatula or piping bag.
- Final Touch: Drizzle melted chocolate over the frosting and sprinkle with chocolate shavings for a polished finish. Enjoy these decadent and layered cupcakes bursting with flavor!
Notes
- If you don’t have strawberry jam, you can substitute it with strawberry puree or a similar fruit jam.
- For extra flavor, consider adding a teaspoon of strawberry extract to the batter for a stronger strawberry taste.
- You can store leftover cupcakes in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or refrigerate them for longer freshness.
