Cupcakes: Preheat oven to 350°. Line 2 (12-cup) standard muffin pans with baking cups; spray cups with cooking spray.
Prepare cake mix with eggs, oil and water as label directs. Divide batter into prepared cups; bake 15 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center of cupcake comes out clean. Cool cupcakes 10 minutes in pan on wire rack; transfer cupcakes to wire rack and cool completely.
With small knife, cut 1-inch circle (about ¾" deep) from center of each cupcake; reserve cake pieces. With small spoon, gently press down inside circle cutouts of cupcakes; fill each cutout with 1 teaspoon fruit spread and cover with reserved cake piece.
Buttercream: In medium bowl, with mixer on medium speed, beat sugar and butter 3 minutes or until smooth, scraping bowl occasionally with rubber spatula. Add fruit spread, vanilla extract and food coloring, if desired; beat 1 minute or until well combined. Increase speed to high; beat 4 minutes or until light and fluffy, scraping bowl occasionally. Makes about 3 cups.
