The bright, zesty citrus cake and berry-kissed frosting taste light and indulgent, sunny and sweet. The secret weapon in our lemon strawberry cupcake recipe is boxed cake mix, which creates a consistently moist crumb (and you can skip all the measuring).<\/p>\n<p>This recipe delivers bakery-quality results on the fly, making these lemon strawberry cupcakes ideal for gatherings like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/favorite-easter-brunch-ideas\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/favorite-easter-brunch-ideas\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Easter brunch<\/a> and backyard birthday parties, but they truly make any day feel special. Plus, their moist texture and natural fruit flavors mean they taste just as good the next day\u2014if they last that long!<\/p>\n<h2>Ingredients for Strawberry Lemon Cupcakes<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>White cake mix:<\/strong> The best <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/best-white-cake-mix\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/best-white-cake-mix\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">white cake mixes<\/a> create effortlessly light and fluffy cupcakes and ensure consistency, making them an excellent shortcut, not a cheat code.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Eggs: <\/strong>Eggs help give the cupcakes their structure.

Choose 2% for the ideal middle ground between too thick and too thin.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Canola oil: <\/strong>Neutral-flavored canola oil keeps the cupcakes more moist than butter does, ensuring the cupcakes stay soft for days.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Lemon juice and zest: <\/strong>Fresh lemon juice and zest add an extra punch of acid and lemon goodness that contrasts perfectly with the sweet strawberry frosting. Remember to wash the lemons before <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/how-to-zest-a-lemon-3-easy-ways\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/how-to-zest-a-lemon-3-easy-ways\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">zesting<\/a> and zest before juicing.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Confectioners&#8217; sugar: <\/strong>Also known as powdered sugar, this gives the frosting its smooth, creamy texture and sweetness.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Butter:<\/strong> Of course, you need butter to make buttercream frosting! It adds richness and creates the perfect fluffy frosting consistency. There are ways to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/how-to-soften-butter-quickly\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/how-to-soften-butter-quickly\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">soften butter quickly<\/a> if you forget to remove your butter from the refrigerator.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Strawberries: <\/strong>Fresh strawberries give the frosting a natural sweetness, a gorgeous pink hue and a bright, fruity flavor. Fresh is best, but frozen can work if needed. Be sure to set some aside for a garnish! A whole or sliced strawberry on top of each cupcake makes them look as good as they taste.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Directions<\/h2>\n<h3>Step 1: Prep the batter<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-2121547\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Strawberry-Lemon-Cupcakes_TOHcom25_238728_DR_01_30_01b.jpg?fit=700%2C1024\" alt=\"A green bowl on a marble countertop contains ingredients for baking: cracked eggs, flour, sugar, butter, and milk.

For the best texture, bring them to room temperature before serving.<\/p>\n<h3>Can you freeze strawberry lemon cupcakes?<\/h3>\n<p>You can <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/properly-storing-cakes\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/properly-storing-cakes\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">freeze cupcakes<\/a>, unfrosted or frosted. To freeze unfrosted cupcakes, store them in an airtight container or freezer-safe bag. Allow them to come to room temperature before frosting. To freeze frosted cupcakes, place them on a baking pan in a single layer and freeze them until the frosting is solid. Wrap the frozen cupcakes individually and store them in an airtight container or zip-top bag. Allow the frozen cupcakes to thaw in the fridge before eating. Frozen cupcakes can last up to three months.<\/p>\n<h2>Strawberry Lemon Cupcake Tips<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-2121554\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Strawberry-Lemon-Cupcakes_TOHcom25_238728_DR_01_30_08b.jpg?fit=700%2C1024\" alt=\"A close-up of a cupcake topped with pink strawberry frosting and a fresh strawberry slice.

I doubled the strawberries in the frosting, because I felt the frosting was too sugary (I use a scale to measure out my sugar) and sweet. Alone, I didn't like the frosting but paired with the cupcake it was wonderful. I do think the cupcakes were a little dry, but again as a combo they were great. The lemon flavor didn't pull through as well as I hoped, I think if I make these again I would try the lemon extract like another reviewer did to get more of the lemon flavor.
