Strawberry Graham Cupcake



These cupcakes are delicious - The frosting is light and creamy and the graham cracker crumbs on top give it a nice crunch. These will go fast!

Preheat oven to 350 degrees
Insert cupcake liners in a cupcake tin - (11-12 cupcakes/tin)








Cupcakes:

3/4 cup of room temperature butter
3 eggs
1 1/2 cup all purpose flour
1 cup cake flour
2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 3/4 cup of sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 1/4 cup of milk

Start by creaming the room temperature butter until light and fluffy, slowly add in the sugar and mix until fluffy, then add in one egg at a time and continue mixing together, next slowly add milk - mix well. Next, mix in the flour slowly and then the remaining ingredients until batter is light and fluffy (the more you mix, the lighter and fluffier the mix). Fill tins 3/4 of the way full and cook on 350 for 16-18 minutes or until toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean. Take out and allow to cool completely before adding the frosting.

Frosting:

8 oz of room temperature Strawberry Cream Cheese
1/2 cup of room temperature butter
1 1/2 teaspoons of vanilla flavoring
5 cups of powdered sugar

Start by beating the cream cheese and butter together until light and fluffy, then add in vanilla flavoring. Next, cup by cup add in the powdered sugar. Frosting will become harder to mix along the way - but keep going - it will become smooth and creamy.

Frost when cupcakes are completely cool, then top with crushed up graham crackers. Enjoy!
