Delicious Strawberry Cupcakes Recipe


  • Author: Patricia

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ cup milk
  • 1 cup finely chopped fresh strawberries

For the Strawberry Cream Frosting

  • 1 cup fresh strawberries, pureed
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 4 cups powdered sugar, sifted
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a muffin tin with cupcake liners.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.
  3. Cream Butter and Sugar: In a large bowl, beat the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  4. Combine with Dry Ingredients: Alternately add the dry ingredients and milk to the butter mixture, starting and ending with the dry ingredients. Fold in the chopped strawberries gently.
  5. Bake: Divide the batter evenly among the prepared cupcake liners. Bake for 20-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow to cool completely.
  6. Make the Frosting: Blend the strawberries to a puree. Beat the butter until creamy, then gradually add the powdered sugar and strawberry puree, beating until smooth. Stir in vanilla extract.
  7. Decorate: Once the cupcakes are cool, frost them with the strawberry cream frosting and garnish with fresh strawberry slices if desired.
