For an even more intense strawberry flavor, consider adding a teaspoon of freeze-dried strawberry powder to the batter. Mayonnaise adds moisture and richness to the cupcakes. Don't be afraid to use it! It won't taste like mayonnaise in the final product. Fresh, ripe strawberries are key to the best flavor. Choose berries that are fragrant and deep red in color. To prevent the strawberries from sinking to the bottom, toss them lightly in a tablespoon of flour before pressing them into the batter.

Follow The Directions
01
Step
5 mins
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare a 12-cup muffin tin with either a generous coating of non-stick spray or paper liners. (5 minutes)
02
Step
3 mins
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, and baking soda until thoroughly combined. Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients. (3 minutes)
03
Step
5 mins
Pour the water, mayonnaise, strawberry preserves, and vanilla extract into the well. Using a spatula or spoon, gently mix the wet and dry ingredients until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are perfectly fine. (5 minutes)
04
Step
3 mins
Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full. (3 minutes)
05
Step
2 mins
Gently press one fresh strawberry into the center of each cupcake, allowing the top to peek through the batter. (2 minutes)
06
Step
25 mins
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean and the tops spring back lightly when gently pressed. (25 minutes)
07
Step
10 mins
Let the cupcakes cool in the muffin tin for 5-10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. (10 minutes)
08
StepOnce completely cool, frost with your favorite white or pink frosting. For an extra touch, swirl the two colors together for a beautiful presentation.
