If you love strawberry shortcake, you’re going to be obsessed with these easy Strawberry-Filled Cupcakes. Made with a simple cake mix, filled with fresh strawberries, and topped with creamy frosting and vanilla wafer crumbs, they’re soft, sweet, and full of that classic nostalgic flavor.
Frequently Asked Questions
Fresh strawberries are best for this recipe since they hold their texture and don’t release too much moisture. If using frozen, thaw and drain well before adding. You can use strawberry preserves in place of the fresh strawberries!
Yes! You can bake the cupcakes a day in advance and store them covered at room temperature. For best results, fill and top with strawberries and frosting the day you plan to serve.
Store leftover filled cupcakes in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 1 to 2 days. Let them sit at room temperature for about 15 to 20 minutes before serving for the best texture. For best results, fill and frost only the cupcakes you plan on eating. Unfilled cupcakes will store much better.

Bake 18 to 22 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool in pans for 10 minutes; remove to a cooling rack. Cool completely, about 30 minutes.
