Recipe Notes
Allow the cupcakes to cool completely before frosting so the cream cheese frosting doesn’t melt.
Use a good-quality strawberry jam for the best flavor.
If you want even more strawberry flavor, add a few finely chopped strawberries to the batter.
Store leftovers in the refrigerator because of the cream cheese frosting.
