Chocolate Champagne Cupcakes, Strawberry Jam Filling, and Champagne Cream Cheese Frosting What could say Valentine’s Day more than a cupcake that combines the most classic flavors of that day? Chocolate, strawberries, and champagne. Yum! I was recently asked by the wonderful Carrie at Class Foundry to come up with something special for Valentine’s day. Initially, I racked my brain trying to think of what cocktail I could turn into a cupcake. I looked up tons of pink, fruity cocktails, but nothing seemed quite right. I decided to just keep it classic and go with champagne. Add chocolate and strawberries, and you get the perfect cupcake to make for this holiday. So, I created these chocolate champagne cupcakes with sweet strawberry jam filling and topped with my favorite champagne cream cheese frosting. They will be a great gift to give that special someone or to enjoy with friends and family♥ [ INGREDIENTS ]
