Description
Delicious strawberry cupcakes perfect for family gatherings, birthday parties, or a cozy afternoon snack.
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.
- Combine all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl. Mix these dry ingredients well to ensure even distribution.
- Cream the softened butter in another bowl until fluffy. Add eggs, vanilla extract, and strawberry puree. Mix until smooth and well-combined.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with the milk. Mix until just combined; be careful not to overmix, or the cupcakes may become dense.
- Fill each cupcake liner about 2/3 full with the batter, giving them room to rise.
- Bake the cupcakes for about 15-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Allow the cupcakes to cool completely before frosting them.
- Mix softened butter with strawberry puree and powdered sugar for frosting. Frost the cooled cupcakes for a delightful finishing touch.
Notes
Use fresh strawberries for best results and ensure not to overmix the batter.
