Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°F. Generously coat a 12-cup muffin pan with non-stick cooking spray.
In a medium bowl, whisk flour, cornstarch, baking powder and salt together until combined.
In a large bowl, using a hand mixer or stand mixer, beat 3/4 cup Splenda Original Granulated Sweetener, eggs and vanilla until frothy and thick, about 3 minutes. Add 4 tablespoons melted butter and oil and beat until combined.
Add flour mixture and milk in 3 alternating batches, beating well between each addition, until combined.
In a small bowl, whisk remaining melted butter and remaining sweetener together until combined.
Pour melted butter mixture evenly into each muffin cup. Arrange strawberry slices in a circle around the bottom edge, and one cherry in the center of each muffin cup. Divide batter evenly among muffin cups, filling about two-thirds full.
Bake until light golden brown, or until toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 20-23 minutes.
Run small knife around edge of each cake to help loosen from pan. Invert muffin pan onto cooling rack to release cakes. Serve cakes with whipped topping and mint sprigs
Note
Substitute fresh rhubarb for cherries when in season! Cut 1 small stalk of fresh rhubarb into ½-inch slices. In step 3, arrange strawberries and rhubarb in the bottom of muffin cups in an alternating pattern.
