Delicious chocolate cupcakes with fresh strawberries, topped with melted chocolate and whipped cream.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 box chocolate cake mix
  • 3 eggs
  • 1 cup water
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 cup strawberries, hulled and chopped
  • 1 cup whipped cream
  • 1 cup chocolate chips
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable shortening

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a cupcake pan with liners.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the chocolate cake mix, eggs, water, and vegetable oil. Mix until smooth.
  3. Gently fold in the chopped strawberries, making sure to incorporate them evenly into the batter.
  4. Pour the batter into the prepared cupcake liners, filling each about 2/3 full.
  5. Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let cool completely.
  6. Meanwhile, melt the chocolate chips with the vegetable shortening in a microwave-safe bowl, stirring until smooth.
  7. Once cooled, dip the top of each cupcake into the melted chocolate, letting the excess drizzle off back into the bowl.
  8. Top each chocolate-dipped cupcake with a dollop of whipped cream and place a whole strawberry on top.
  9. Serve and enjoy!
