Vanilla Cupcakes with Strawberry Mascarpone Frosting

Welcome to cupcake heaven! After you try these, you will never buy a box of cake mix again! These vanilla cupcakes are moist and delicious. Did I mention they are a breeze to make? I used buttermilk in the batter for a tangier, edgier taste.

They pair of perfectly with a homemade strawberry mascarpone frosting. Mascarpone is the Italian version of cream cheese and is has a more delicate, subtle taste with a smoother texture.

The frosting is so delicious that you’ll want to jar them and sell them in the market. The strawberries paired with the mascarpone bring out amazing flavor. The perfect pairing! I make all kinds of desserts for this blog, but this particular recipe was torture for my little girls.

They couldn’t wait for me to take the pictures quickly so they can eat the cupcakes. Both of them kept asking “are you done yet?” Why do you need one more picture?

“Can I have just a taste?” Yikes! those 2 were getting on my nerves. But on the other hand, I don’t blame them.

    What lovely cupcakes! When you say strawberry syrup, are you referring to something like the ice cream topping?
