Several years ago I tried a cupcake recipe from Simple & Delicious which made a big impression on her. This was the first birthday in quite some time that she's been able to come home to celebrate, so she specifically requested these cupcakes instead of a cake.
They are moist, delicious, and quite simple to make.
1 pkg. strawberry cake mix
2 cups (16 oz.) sour cream (I use "lite")
2 eggs
strawberry preserves
white frosting
Combine first three ingredients in a large bowl. Mix on low speed for 30 seconds then an additional 2 minutes on medium speed. Fill 24 baking cups about half full with batter. Spoon approximately 1/2 teaspoon preserves into the center of each cup. Top with remaining batter. Bake at 350F for about 20 to 25 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Frost when cool.

Happy birthday to your daughter.
But now you have made me hungry!
Vic - you're welcome. :)
Jenners - we did consider alternate ways to prepare them, but I don't think chocolate was one of them. Hmmm...I'd have to give that some thought.
I'm sure she would thank all the rest of you for the birthday wishes.
Tracy - I promise if you come visit I will make them for you!
Yum! What a lucky girl to have such an extraordinary cook as a mom! Happy Birthday to your baby girl!

Thinking of you!
Bob - Considering you're married to the best cook/hostess in the South, I appreciate the compliment!
Sue! I need to e-mail you!
