Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease a cupcake pan or use cupcake liners.
In a large bowl, combine the cake mix and white chocolate chips. Mix well.
In a medium-sized bowl, combine eggs, water, milk, and jam. Mix until combined.
Pour the wet mixture into the dry mixture while using a hand mixer on low speed. Mix until all the dry mixture is incorporated.
Pour the mixture into the prepared cupcake pan.
Bake for 14 to 17 minutes or until a toothpick comes clean out of the center of a cupcake.
Cool in the pan for 5 minutes and then transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely before frosting.
Strawberry Buttercream Frosting
In a medium-sized bowl, mix the powdered sugar and the powdered strawberries. Set aside.
In a large bowl, cream the butter with a hand mixer, until fluffy, about 2 to 3 minutes.
Add milk and keep mixing until the milk and the butter are combined (about 20 seconds).
Add about one-third of the sugar mixture and carefully mix to combine the sugar with the butter mixture.
Repeat step 4 until you have used all the sugar and it's well mixed.
Pipe or spread the buttercream on top of the cupcakes.
