  5. Divide the batter evenly among the lined cupcake molds, filling each about two-thirds full.
  6. Place the cupcakes in the oven and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. Allow the cupcakes to cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Frosting

  2. Once the cupcakes are completely cooled, frost them generously with the prepared frosting, and garnish with fresh strawberries.

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.
