Instructions

6 steps

1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Bring ½ cup unsalted butter to room temperature.
2

In a medium bowl, whisk together oil and sugar until combined. Whisk in vanilla and 1 egg until smooth. Wash and dry whisk.
3

In a second medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. Slowly add flour mixture and ⅔ cup milk to the oil mixture, alternating dry ingredients and milk; stir until just combined.
4

Arrange the cupcake cups on the baking sheet. Divide batter evenly among cupcake cups, filling each just over half full. Bake until a toothpick inserted into the center of a cupcake comes out clean, 18-22 minutes. Let cool to room temperature.
5

Meanwhile, in a third medium bowl, beat softened butter with a hand mixer until pale, then slowly add confectioners’ sugar and food coloring. Beat for 2-3 minutes. Stir in strawberry jam and 1 tablespoon milk or water until smooth and creamy.
6

Fold the top of the piping bag over your hand to form a cuff; add frosting. Unfold bag and twist to close. Snip about 1 inch off the tip of the bag; push frosting down to the tip of the bag. Evenly pipe frosting onto cupcakes.
