We always have these cupcakes in the freezer at home for when that sweet craving hits. They freeze really well for up to four weeks and only take about 30 minutes to defrost at room temperature.
Perfect to take on a platter to any celebration topped with whipped cream and chopped berries.
Ingredients
- 1 x pack Simply Swap Foods Cheeky Chocolate Cupcake Mix
- ½ cup salted butter, melted (125g)
- 3 large eggs
- 2/3 cup preferred milk
- 1 cup pure cream
- 1 tblsp natvia sweetener
- 1 cup strawberries, chopped
Method
Preheat oven to 170°C f/forced and grease and line 12-hole muffin tray with paper cases.
- Pour entire dry mix contents into a large bowl and stir to mix well.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together melted butter, eggs and milk.
- Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients and fold together gently.
- Pour mixture into lined muffin tray and bake for 20-25 mins or until cakes spring back when lightly touched in centre (or a skewer inserted into centre of cake comes out clean).
- Leave cakes in pan for 5 minutes before removing to cool on wire rack.
- Make whipped cream by placing cream and natvia in a bowl and using a hand beater to beat until thickened.
- Once cakes are completely cold, slice in half horizontally and spread each half with a dollop of whipped cream (or double thick cream works well also) and your favourite berries.
You can have your cake and feel great too!

About Linda
After changing to a low-sugar real food diet over 3 years ago and experiencing huge health improvements, Linda wanted to create some Australian-made products to help others on a similar journey. The biggest challenge she had at the start of changing to a low sugar eating style was finding an easy replacement for her beloved sweet treats, especially at family celebrations. Drawing on her background as a cookbook author and food writer, Linda spent many months in the kitchen fine-tuning the recipes that are used in these mixes. Please check out Linda’s website for more details and know that she’ll be doing a super happy dance every time someone places an order.
