Ingredients
- 2 cups Kodiak Chocolate Chip Power Cakes Flapjack & Waffle Mix
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1 large egg
- 1/3 cup sour cream
- 1/2 cup avocado or vegetable oil
- 2/3 cup + 3 tablespoons whole milk
- 8 ounces salted butter, room temperature
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 6 cups confectioner’s sugar
- 1/4 cup freeze-dried strawberries, crushed
- Fresh strawberries, to top
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 375° F. Line a muffin tin with 12 cupcake liners.
- Place the Kodiak mix, baking powder, and brown sugar in a mixing bowl. Whisk to combine.
- Add the egg, sour cream, oil, and 2/3 cup milk to the dry ingredients. Whisk until a smooth batter forms.
- Divide the batter equally between the 12 cupcake liners.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Remove from the oven and let sit for 1 minute. Transfer cupcakes to a wire rack and cool completely.
- Place the softened butter, vanilla, half the confectioner’s sugar, and freeze-dried strawberries in a large mixing bowl. Beat together with an electric mixer until a thick paste forms.
- Add the 3 tablespoons milk and the remaining confectioner's sugar and beat in until combined. Move the speed up to high and beat for another minute until whipped and smooth.
- Spoon the frosting into a piping bag fitted with desired tip and pipe the frosting onto the cupcakes. Top each cupcake with a slice of fresh strawberry. Store in an airtight container.
