This 'Kitchen Treaty' baked good has followed the recent trend of blurring dessert boundaries, which is not a bad thing whatsoever. Usually, strawberry shortcake is served in cake form, but for Karen Troughton, the creative cook behind this blog, cupcakes seemed more appropriate. Fresh juicy strawberries and whipped cream frosting standing atop a white sponge cake base are drool-worthy, and grounds to make this recipe.
Following in the similar line up of Tiramisu cupcakes, red velvet cupcakes and s'more cupcakes, these Kitchen Treaty strawberry shortcake cupcakes pack a whole lot of flavor into a single-sized serving. Even though it is single-sized, don't let that stop you from having one, two and possibly even three; it's not like anyone is looking.
