Steps

1 hour 30 mins

1

Preheat oven to 350
2

If ur not making cupcakes, prepare ur cake pan (cover w/ cooking spray) and set aside. If making cupcakes get ur muffin tin ready w/ nonstick spray or line w ur baking cups.
3

In a mixing bowl combine cake mix, oil, eggs, and thawed strawberries (w/ juice from strawberries). The strawberries are replacing the water component of the original recipe on the box so make sure to include the juice from the frozen berries. I also added a 4th egg. The box recipe calls for 3, but I did 4. Amps up the moisture and makes it fluffier....
4

Gradually add in ur sour cream and softened cream cheese (hopefully ur using an electric mixer for this step... I've folded these 2 remaining ingredients in before as well but they come out fluffy & moist either way...
5

Divide batter equally (about 1 1/2 tbsp to 2 tbsp per muffin cup) Or just pour entire content into greased baking pan if making a whole cake..
6

Bake for 18-21 mins or until toothpick inserted in center of cake/cupcake comes out clean.
7

Place on wire rack and allow to cool for about about an hour prior to applying icing so it won't melt off (if u can wait that long!!!)
8

For Icing: Melt down stick of butter in microwave-safe bowl, mix in all ingredients w electric mixer. Blend until smooth and creamy. Add more powdered sugar if icing too loose/thin or more milk if too thick until desired consistency reached. Be careful w juice from strawberries in this step as u dont want icing too runny and again, if it turns out too loose add more powdered sugar. Top each cupcake w dollop of icing to ur liking! Turn up & enjoy ur berry berry delicious bakery style cupcakes!!!
