Hello lovelies, we aren’t done with strawberry recipes yet, you just have to enjoy the season and therefore here are: berry cupcakes with chocolate frosting. I haven‘t posted a chocolate recipe in a while, so it was about time. The cupcakes with strawberries are nice and fluffy and you can also enjoy them as muffins. And if you like it a little more decadent, then you should add a delicious chocolate frosting.
As strawberry season will end soon, I also have an alternative for you. Make the cupcakes with cherries or raspberries, as they also fit very well. And cherries and chocolate, that's the best combination anyway!
The cupcakes are really fluffy and fruity due to the berry pieces. I have used less sugar on purpose, as the frosting is already sweet, but I think cupcakes are supposed to be sweet. If you only bake muffins without the frosting, then maybe you should use a little more sugar.
The berry cupcakes with chocolate frosting are great for a summer coffee, a summer birthday party or well chilled also great for a picnic. And if you want a little more decadence, then you can press a vegan truffle ball into the dough. That gives it a liquid chocolate core - so fine and a great surprise.
If you prefer something without frosting, no problem – you'll find plenty of summery berry recipes on the blog. For quick snacking my fruity berry muffins are just right, chocolate fans will love my moist chocolate cake with zucchini and cherries, and when it needs to be really quick, bake my crisp strawberry galette.
By the way, you should definitely go to the strawberry field again if you haven‘t been to one this year. There are still some open strawberry fields in many areas and there is nothing better in the summer as a filled belly (and bowl) with fresh strawberries.
