fresh strawberry cupcakes
I can’t stand faux strawberry flava – but fresh strawberries, now those I can always get behind.
ingredients:
1 stick butter, softened
1 cup sugar
2 eggs
1-1/2 cups cake flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
pinch of salt
1/3 cup milk
1-1/2 teaspoons vanilla
1-1/2 cups FRESH strawberries, chopped
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Prep a cupcake pan with liners.
In the bowl of an electric mixer, cream the butter and sugar until fluffy. Add the eggs and the vanilla.
In a separate bowl whisk together the flour, baking powder and salt.
Add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with the milk. Fold in the strawberries.
Fill cupcake cups 3/4 full, bake 15-20+ minutes depending on your oven, until you get that lovely clean toothpick. Cool, and frost. Makes 12 cupcakes.
I used a chocolate frosting, and poked strawberry pocky sticks inside to reveal what kind of cake was under there. I also made a batch of my “Fauxstess” cupcakes to go with them. Sorry, they were eaten before I could take a pic of the insides!

Those are some cute cupcakes!
3 words Om nom nom. Fun recipe loved it,
Is there any particular reason for folding in the vanilla with the strawberries as opposed to stirring it in with the milk? Just curious!
holy cow, these are AMAZING! i don’t like chocolate so i just sprinkled some powdered sugar on top and everyone loved them! can’t wait to make more! thanks jenn!!
I put some mini chocolate chips in ‘em and call them muffins. Which sounds healthier!
Oh.. So good! Thanks for this one!!!
Thankyou for sharing this delicious recipe!
I made them just this morning and they tasted SO good! I have linked here from my blog post to encourage more people to try them!
Scrumptious! =)
These were delicious!! I made the first batch and they went too fast so I made a second batch and brought them to work.. everyone loved them!!
Thanks for this recipe!
WOW!!!! These are terrific. I made these for my 1st graders Valentine’s day party and I actually had little ones in tears because I did not make enough. They wanted these instead of the candy. I used whip cream for the frosting however you really did not need anything. Thank You!
these are yummy. but, they definitely were more muffiny than cupcakey. i too used a whip cream based frosting. it was delicious, but i was hoping it would be more like a cake!
