Instructions
1
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a muffin tray with cupcake liners and set aside.

In a large bowl, beat the dry cake mix, eggs, oil, water, strawberry soda and strawberry extract with an electric mixer on low speed for 3 minutes.
3
Scoop the cupcake batter into the prepared muffin tray.
4
Bake for 15 -17 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Cool in the muffin pan for 10 minutes. Remove to a cooling rack for 1-2 hours before frosting.
6
Beat together the butter, powdered icing sugar and cocoa for 2-3 minutes until everything is mixed well together.
7
Add the milk, flavor extract (and salt if you are using). Beat until the frosting becomes thick and smooth.
8
Adjust the flavor with any extra powdered icing sugar, cocoa powder or cream as needed.
9
Place the frosting into a piping bag with a large star tip. Pipe the frosting onto a cooled cupcake.

11
Line a baking tray with wax paper and set aside.

Tips & Tricks (5)
- Strawberry Soda Moisture Secret 🍓Replace half the milk in the cake batter with strawberry soda to intensify the strawberry flavor and create an incredibly moist crumb that stays fresh longer.
- Chocolate Wafer Tempering Technique 🍫Melt chocolate wafers in short 15-second microwave bursts, stirring between each, to achieve a glossy finish without seizing or becoming grainy.
- Strategic Fresh Strawberry Placement 📍Insert a fresh strawberry piece into each cupcake's center while the batter is still warm, positioning it slightly off-center so it's visible when bitten but doesn't sink to the bottom.
- Dual Extract Flavor Layering 🌟Mix vanilla extract into the cake batter and strawberry extract into the frosting separately to create distinct flavor notes that complement rather than compete with each other.
- Cocoa Powder Bloom Prevention 🎨Sift cocoa powder 3-4 times before adding to frosting and apply it as the final garnish just before serving to prevent moisture from creating dull spots on the chocolate coating.
