Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and chopped
  • 2 tablespoons powdered sugar (for whipped cream)
  • Optional: food coloring for decoration

Instructions

  1. Creating Strawberry Shortcake Easter Egg Bombs is a delightful experience. Follow these simple steps to bring your treats to life:
  2. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a muffin tin by greasing it or using silicone molds.
  3. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
  4. Combine Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, mix the melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  5. Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Fill Muffin Tin: Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about halfway full.
  7. Bake: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Cool the Cakes: Once baked, remove from the oven and let them cool in the tin for about 5 minutes. Then, transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  9. Prepare the Filling: While the cakes cool, whip the heavy cream with powdered sugar until soft peaks form. Fold in the chopped strawberries gently.
  10. Assemble the Treats: Once the cakes are completely cool, cut a small portion off the top to create a flat surface. Hollow out a small portion in the center of each cake to create space for the filling.
  11. Fill with Strawberries: Spoon the strawberry-whipped cream mixture into the hollowed cakes, filling them generously.
  12. Decorate: Optionally, you can use food coloring to decorate the tops of the cakes for a festive touch.
  13. Chill: Place the filled cakes in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to set.
