Method
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a cupcake tin with paper liners.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add in the eggs, vanilla extract, and strawberry puree, mixing until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with the milk, stirring gently until just combined.
- Divide the batter evenly among the lined cupcake molds, filling each about two-thirds full.
- Place the cupcakes in the oven and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Allow the cupcakes to cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Frosting
- In a mixing bowl, beat the softened butter until smooth. Gradually add the powdered sugar, mixing until well combined. Add the vanilla and milk, then beat until fluffy.
- Once the cupcakes are completely cooled, frost them generously with the prepared frosting, and garnish with fresh strawberries.
Serving
- Serve immediately and enjoy these sweet treats!
Notes
Use fresh strawberries for the best flavor. Don't overmix for a light and fluffy texture. Can substitute strawberries with raspberries or blueberries. Store in an airtight container for up to 5 days or freeze for up to 2 months.
