I love strawberries, and these Strawberry Cake Bites are one of my all-time favorites!
I wasn’t planning on making these tonight, but I wanted something sweet. I really liked the Maple-Butter Blondies I made a couple of weeks ago, so I wanted to remix it using the strawberry cake mix I had in the pantry. I didn’t think the cookies would work, so I decided to try out my new mini-muffin pan. These little cakes were too cute! And not to mention, quite tasty! I could seriously eat about one thousand.
Strawberry Cake Bites Recipe:
You could use whatever frosting you have on hand. If you have a tub of frosting, whip it up in your mixer first. It fluffs it up and gives it more of a homemade texture. I only had some heavy cream in the fridge, so I whipped it up with some sugar and topped each cake with a dollop of the whipped cream. It was a nice light balance to the heavier cake. A sweet treat for my Tuesday!
Strawberry Cake Bites Ingredients:
1 8-oz. package cream cheese softened
1 stick butter, softened
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 box strawberry cake mix
How To Make Strawberry Cake Bites:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray or use paper liners in a mini-muffin pan. Set aside.
2. In a large bowl of an electric mixer, cream the butter and cream cheese together until smooth, about 2 minutes. Beat in the egg. Then beat in the vanilla. Add the cake mix and beat on medium speed for 2 minutes.
3. Drop tablespoon size dollops into the prepared muffin pan.
4. Bake for 16-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cakes comes out clean.
5. Cool. Top with the desired frosting or eat plain!
Enjoy!
