Eggless Strawberry Cupcakes with Strawberry Buttercream

Don't you just love all things pretty in Pink? I do!!
I made these recently for a play date when Rhea's friends came over. Strawberries are in season here, but I could not make my classic strawberry cupcakes (which I already shared with you before). Because one of the girls has an egg allergy. So, I decided to make these, which are my eggless version of the same classic recipe. They were so well received that no one believed they were eggless. As a result, I promised to share the recipe with some of the moms. And here I am sharing with you this absolutely delicious Eggless Strawberry Cupcakes Recipe.

The buttercream is also strawberry flavored, and yet I did not use the strawberry puree in this recipe. Why? Honestly? My kids ate the strawberries and I had none left for the buttercream or garnish! If you have kids you know how this is so very possible.

Let's talk ingredients and substitutes (Save/Pin)

  • Oil - I find eggless batters work best with oil. I have not tried this recipe with butter. And yet, I think it might work well if you use (1 stick ) 113 grams of melted butter. If you do try, please let me know in the comments how it turned out.
  • Sugar - I love using white sugar so I get a nice pretty pink.
  • Pink food color - The strawberry puree is not really a lot. So, it does not make the cupcakes pink. Therefore, I prefer to add a tad pink color. And yet, it is optional. So, feel free to omit if you prefer to keep them natural.
  • Yogurt - You need the yogurt instead of the eggs. So, do not omit the yogurt. You must use plain natural yogurt not a fruit flavored yogurt.
  • Strawberries - You can use fresh or frozen strawberries - once pulsed you need about 1/2 cup. You can also use store-bought strawberry puree. And yet, take note that some store-bought purees are already sweetened. So, you may need to reduce sugar from the original recipe.

Useful tips and tools

  • If you bake often, it would be a good idea to invest in a cake mixer. Because often we try to mix by hand and then we are too tired to give it enough creaming or mixing. So, if you are making this buttercream go head and remove that K-Mix or Kitchen Aid from your kitchen cabinet. And, you don't have to buy an expensive stand mixer, a simple hand mixer works great too.
  • Having said that, a simple Bowl, whisk and Spatula with a little extra elbow grease will do too.
  • Personally, I believe in weighing ingredients by weight, which makes my kitchen scaleone of the most valuable items when baking. The same goes for mymeasuring cups and measuring spoons. It's always a good idea to have these handy and use them when baking rather than trying to guess measurements.
  • Also, it is important to buy cupcake linersfrom a trustworthy source to prevent peeling. There is nothing worse than to bake good cupcakes or muffins and then have all the liners peel off.
  • Additionally, you can use a measuring cup to ensure you divide the batter evenly among all the cupcakes or muffins. That way all your cupcakes will be a similar size. Personally, I love using my cupcake scooper for that purpose.  
  • A good baking tray is always important. Try using a light colored baking trayBaking tray. Another option is to line the baking tray with Parchment Paper for easy clean up just in case of spillage.
  • Every oven works differently. So the baking times are just guidelines. In case of muffins and cupcakes it’s often a good idea to rotate the baking tray mid-way the baking so they cook and rise evenly.

          Made these today. Very yummy - moist, soft. The use of strawberry puree means they have a lovely flavour. Family feedback was that this is definitely a recipe to be repeated 😊 Thanks for another great recipe.

          Hi Veena, that looks so amazing... Definitely going to try out... Was in hunt for an eggless version of cupcakes. Thank you for posting this recipe... Had a doubt, with the buttercream it says whip together butter & sugar .. Does that mean U don't have to beat the butter first and then add sugar to it?

          • Veena Azmanov

            Hey RU. You can whip the butter on its own first but it's not absolutely necessary. I hope you enjoy these cupcakes. They are very popular and for good reason.

            Hey, Veer. You don't need to keep them in the fridge if it is just for the next day. I usually don't keep my cupcakes in the fridge. Unless you use perishable frosting you don't need to put in the fridge.

            • Veena Azmanov

              Ah.. whipping cream - is best done only a few hours ahead unless you stabilize the whipping cream I would frost if fresh no earlier than 3 hours.

          Hi, recipe looks great. Going to try this tomorrow. Just wondering- it says use only 1/2 cup of strawberry for the cupcake and to reserve rest for buttercream - does this mean we should use only 1/2 cup strawberry for the cupcake even if we scale up the recipe??

          Reply

          • Veena Azmanov

            NO, if you scale up the recipe - you will need to add more based on how much you scale up. For example, if you double the recipe you will need one cup. Anyway, thanks for bringing it to my attention I edited the recipe so it's more clear. Let me know how they turned out. Thanks

            I think you can use strawberry crush but if it contains sugar in it - please reduce the sugar in the recipe accordingly.
