I've been itching to make Neopolitan cupcakes pretty much all summer long. I had planned to make them for a BBQ at our new house. Unfortunately, Mother Nature decided that this summer would be a mix of rain and unbareably humid thus prohibiting any comfortable BBQs (at least in our busy schedule).
Last weekend, I had a party to go to. A friend who moved across the country was in town. The perfect occasion to bust out a recpie I'd been dreaming about for months.
I tried out a new chocolate cake recipe. While the cake is delicioius, it's a bit too moist for a filled cupcake. I would definitely use this again for chocolate cupcakes, but not any filled cupcakes.
The filling is a strawberry cream, made using fresh pureed strawberries. I was a little uncertain about the cream at first. I felt you didn't get a strong enough strawberry flavoring. I shouldn't have worried. It's perfect.
The frosting is my go-to Vanilla buttercream.
The cupcake came out just right. I might try again, but with a strawberry cake and chocolate filling- because I didn't feel like the filling here was enough of a surprise (my ultimate goal).

Great post!
Sadly, by the time I dropped by (to brew), these delicacies were past their prime. I almost ate one anyway, but your husband talked me back from that ledge.
O, to have met one of these Neopolitan cupcakes in their prime...
Yeah, sorry about that. I meant to toss those before you came over. I'll have to make them again sometime- and let you get a fresh one.
Yum yum. I nominate you for dessert over Turkey Day.
