Description
Delicious strawberry cupcakes made with fresh strawberries, perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 cup fresh strawberries, pureed
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a cupcake pan with liners to ensure easy removal after baking.
- Combine in a large bowl the all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Mix until everything is evenly distributed.
- Beat the softened butter in a separate bowl until creamy. Add in the eggs, vanilla extract, and strawberry puree, mixing until well combined.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk. Continue mixing until just combined—don’t over-mix!
- Fill each cupcake liner about two-thirds full with batter, ensuring they have room to rise.
- Bake the cupcakes for 15-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Allow the cupcakes to cool completely before frosting them, as warm cupcakes can melt frosting.
- For the frosting, beat together softened butter and some strawberry puree, then gradually add powdered sugar until you achieve your desired thickness. Once ready, frost those cooled cupcakes and enjoy!
Notes
Use fresh strawberries for the best flavor; do not over-mix the batter.
