Last week I made an amazing cupcake. I love fresh fruit with vanilla cake. I like when the cupcake is cool, frosting is a little cool, and then you get the cold fruit. I’m not a fruit cake fan, but I like fruit on my cake. Big difference. 😉
My husband loved these cupcakes! His favorite are my Trifle cupcakes. For vanilla, he said this is his fave!! They have a texture almost like shortcake. On to the recipe!
2 Cups Sugar
4 Eggs
2 3/4 Cup All Purpose Flour
1 Teaspoon Tahitian Vanilla Extract
Alternate flour mixture and milk mixture into the batter.
12 Ounces Cream Cheese, Softened
1 Stick Unsalted butter, Softened
1 Teaspoon Tahitian Vanilla
1 1/2 Cups Powdered Sugar
Gorgeous! Some cupcakes are just so over-the-top these days, it’s nice to get back to the basics. Vanilla cake is so underrated. 🙂
Those look delicious!
These sound so good and look amazing, Courtney!
YES PLEASE! Fresh strawberries are ready for picking around here, so this makes me need to bake these immediately!
Ooh, that looks awesome…great pics!
Strawberries on top of ANYTHING is a weakness of mine…plus cupcakes! WHEW! My mouth is watering!
Oh my goodness! Those look so good!! With the blueberries, this would be a perfect dessert for 4th of July celebrations. Yum!!! 😀

They look good, at first I thought it was pico on top, now I am thinking of something a bit different 🙂
Yummy!

I’ve been looking for new frosting recipes, instead of my standard homemade cream cheese frosting. Thanks.

I like the topping you have on it.
These sounds so good I have tons of strawberries right now!
Simply divine!

They really do look good. We make cake pops in orange county, and that would be an amazing flavor combination if we could figure it out.
Looks so good!

These would be perfect during summer
This look great, perfect for a summer/spring barbeque.
these look so good- I love strawberry desserts.
Where can you find Tahitian Vanilla extract? I’ve never heard of it before. Perhaps I will try it with regular vanilla extract instead
These look so yummy! I wish I would have seen this recipe when we picked fresh strawberries last month.
These cupcakes look so pretty..and yummy too!
