Create a semi-homemade treat for that special someone this Valentine’s Day! Try our strawberry champagne cupcakes with a champagne buttercream frosting.

Valentine’s Day is just a few weeks away and I am excited to share it with Kim. We’ve been together for almost twenty (20) years.

It’s funny how time flies and the years get away from you. However, I still try to do something special for her every year.

This year, we decided to share one of our favorite strawberry cupcake recipes. Kim used champagne to take ordinary cupcakes to the next level!

So, shall we get started?

How to make strawberry champagne cupcakes?

First, start by preheating your oven to 350 degrees F. and lining two (2) muffin tins with decorative liners.

Also, remove your butter from the fridge. It needs to soften for the frosting.

After that, grab a mixing bowl and add the cake mix, cracked eggs, champagne, and oil.

Next, a use a hand mixer or whisk to combine the ingredients.

Now, once the cupcake batter is ready, transfer it to the liners. Only fill the liners to the halfway point. Use the photos as a guide.

I recommend using a measuring cup for that step because it makes things a little easier.

Then, place the cupcakes into the oven to cook for about seventeen (17) minutes or until they pass the “toothpick,” test.

That means when you poke one in the center with a toothpick, it should come out clean.

So, when the cupcakes are done, set them aside to cool for at least thirty (30) minutes.

How to make champagne frosting?

First, grab a large mixing bowl and add the powdered sugar, softened butter, vanilla extract, and three (3) tablespoons of the champagne.

Next, blend the ingredients. You may need to add a little more of the champagne if the frosting is too thick.

That’s why the recipe says three (3) to four (4) tablespoons.

Last, once the cupcakes have cooled, use a rubber spatula or piping bag (with tip) to decorate the strawberry cupcakes.

That’s it, your strawberry champagne cupcakes are done! Kim and I hope you enjoy the recipe and wish you all the best 🙂
