I want to make strawberry cupcakes...?

Question

Can I just cut up fresh strawberries and add them to cake mix from a box???

Answer 1

fresh strawberries has a lot of juice or liquid in them....cooking with them will probably not work unless they are in small bits and not too many so that it will not change the consistency of the batter.

Fresh can be added to toppings and it would make a nice statement....you do not have to put fresh in the batter.....try dried or preserve strawberries.....i think they work better..and top with fresh strawberries
