Cupcake With Strawberry Frosting

Cupcake With Strawberry Frosting

Diana Rattray
Use this delicious strawberry frosting to top a cake or cupcakes.

Ingredients:

  • 1/2 pint (8 ounces) strawberries
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 4 tablespoons soft butter
  • 3 to 4 cups powdered sugar

Preparation:

Wash strawberries; hull and slice. Put the sliced strawberries in a bowl; sprinkle with the granulated sugar and toss well. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight.

Drain excess juices from strawberries. Crush or mash the strawberries.

Beat butter until smooth; add 3 cups of powdered sugar and the crushed strawberries. Slowly beat until sugar is blended in, then beat on medium speed until fluffy. Add more powdered sugar, as needed, until the frosting is a nice spreading consistency. Frost a layer cake, tube cake, or 24 cupcakes. Keep the frosted cake or cupcakes refrigerated.

I don't get itFebruary 06, 2009By thedonutkid
"I tried this recipe, following it's instructions to a T. It came out horribly. It was stiff and difficult to beat but oddly, too gloppy to frost anything with. I had to add so much powdered sugar to stiffen it that it was deathly sweet. I would not recommend this recipe to anyone."
