Best 8 Strawberry Margarita Cupcake Recipes

STRAWBERRY MARGARITA CUPCAKES RECIPE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F. Line 2 12-count cupcake tins with cupcake liners. Set aside.
• Make the strawberry puree ahead of time so it has time to cool. To do so, blend the strawberries and water until you have 1¼ cups of strawberry puree. Pour into a microwave-safe bowl and place into the microwave for 45 seconds and stir. Continue to microwave in 30-second increments, stirring in between. Once your puree has reduced to ½ or ¾ cup, set aside to cool.
• In a medium bowl, combine flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
• In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the butter and sugar together for 60 seconds on medium-high. Add in the cooled strawberry puree and Greek yogurt and mix. Add in the eggs and mix well.
• Fold in the flour mixture until just incorporated. Do not overmix.
• Fill each cupcake mold ¾ full and bake for 16 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean or with moist crumbs. Once baked, remove from the oven and let cool.
• Once cooled, frost the cupcakes with the strawberry tequila lime buttercream. To garnish, cut halfway through a lime slice and gently twist it. Place it on top of the buttercream, slightly to one side so that there is room for a strawberry. If you have small strawberries, place one on top of each cupcake. If you have large strawberries, slice them in half and place a half onto each cupcake next to the lime.
