How to Make Kid Pleasing Strawberry Cupcakes

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 24-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the cake mix, sour cream, and eggs.
  3. Stir with a spoon until just combined. Do not overmix.
  4. Reserve 1 1/2 cups of batter. Set aside.
  5. Fill the prepared muffin cups about halfway full with the remaining batter.
  6. Using a spoon, gently make a slight indentation in the center of each cupcake.
  7. Fill each indentation with a heaping 1/2 teaspoon of strawberry preserves.
  8. Spoon the reserved 1 1/2 cups of batter evenly over the filled cups, covering the preserves completely.
  9. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  10. Let cool in the muffin tin for 1 minute before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
  11. Once completely cooled, store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
