Strawberry and Chocolate Filled Classic Chocolate Cupcakes with Strawberry Frosting

These classic chocolate cupcakes are filled with a wonderful Strawberry and Chocolate Jam made by my friend Amisha who owns The Jam Lab. Her product is organic and she sources the strawberries from a local farmers market. Incorporated in this moist and cake-y cupcake is our very own Cocoa Dulce blend. This blend adds just enough sweetness along with subtle warm flavors keeping this cupcake balanced. And to finish it all off, a delicate real strawberry frosting with bits of strawberry that have been reduced down in their own juices. The end result is a cupcake that won’t make your teeth hurt. This recipe will make 12 cupcakes total…so for my husband and I, freezing just the cupcake is a perfect way to have a treat without turning on the oven.
