Candace Nelson on The View From The Bay with Spencer Christian and Janelle Wang making Sprinkles Strawberry Cupcakes.

Recipe:
Sprinkles Strawberry Cupcakes
Makes 1 dozen

1 ½ cup all-purpose flour, sifted
1 tsp baking powder
½ tsp baking soda
¼ tsp kosher salt
4 oz unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 cup granulated sugar
1 large egg, at room temperature
2 large egg whites, at room temperature
¼ cup whole milk, at room temperature
¼ cup pureed strawberries (use all-natural frozen that have been thawed)
1 tsp pure vanilla extract

Preheat oven to 350 degrees

Fill a 12 cup cupcake pan with cupcake liners

Whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Set aside

Add vanilla and strawberry puree to milk and set aside

In standing mixer, cream butter and sugar on medium-high speed until light and fluffy

Slowly add egg and egg whites and mix on medium speed until blended

With mixer on low speed, add half the flour mixture until just blended

Add milk mixture and mix just until blended

Add remaining flour mixture and mix just until blended. Scrape down bowl to make sure entire mixture is smooth.

Divide batter between 12 cupcake cups and bake for approx 22 minutes or until tops are just dry to the touch

Sprinkles Strawberry Frosting
Frosts 1 dozen

2 sticks (½ lb) unsalted butter, firm but not cold
1/8 tsp kosher salt
3 ½ cups confectioners sugar, sifted
½ tsp pure vanilla extract
2 tbsp pureed strawberries (use all-natural frozen that have been thawed)

Beat butter and salt on medium speed until light and fluffy

Reduce speed and gradually add confectioner's sugar and beat until incorporated

Add vanilla and strawberry puree and mix until blended. Do not overmix, or the frosting will incorporate too much air. The consistency should be dense and creamy, like ice-cream

I tried this recipe a million times with NO success. BAKERS BEWARE- this is NOT a real recipe. If you overmix the puree in there, your cakes will be heavy and turn into a gray mess. If you undermix the puree you will get a vanilla cake with random pockets of strawberry. Acid & water in strawberries breaks down the batter, and no amount of baking soda helps. INSTEAD try strawberry pastry filling and strawberry extract in place of the vanilla extract. HOPE this yelps the frustrated masses! :-)

@JCLFJanet I agree that when you bake it, they don't stay pink or red but they are still good.

the asian host is such an airhead...sorry but shes annoying

[GLGeanna2010]

This woman wanted to sue a business in the UK because they called their company 'sprinkles cupcake soaps' --- The company don't even make cupcakes! What a ridiculous woman. The cupcakes are nothing special - plain looking to me.

Gosh I wanted to see how Candace was icing the cupcake and the camera was focused on that stupid annoying asian host.

Don't trust her recipes. She is obviously not giving her real recipe. I read Shirley Corriher's baking book and 1 cup of flour requires 1 teaspoon baking powder. In addition an acid ingredient like strawberries requires baking soda. Many reviews say these are heavy and tasteless. Also egg whites are drying in a recipe, why is she adding all those whites. Sorry but this 'cupcake' expert is just wanting her 15 minutes of fame.

[kamira718]

the list of ingredients includes baking soda, yet when she verbally goes through the ingredients, she does mention it.

@LindzeeKeem Usually a recipe that yields a dozen cupcakes will make one 8-inch round cake. Bake at the same temperature for around 5-10 minutes longer. For a two-layer cake, make the recipe as if for 2 dozen cupcakes.

[lilipution1013]

It looks like she's using waaaaay more than 1/4 c of strawberry puree. Maybe more like 2/3 or 3/4. The Martha Stewart version of this (where I found this video link, thanks!) said to use 2/3.

Attention Sprinkles Lady: If you're going to "share your recipe" with people, how about you share your actual recipe?
