fresh strawberry cupcakes
This recipe is adapted from the “Crazy About Cupcakes
I can’t stand faux strawberry flava so the use of fresh strawberries really makes this cake great.
ingredients:
1 stick butter, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
2 eggs
1-1/2 all purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup milk
1-1/2 teaspoons vanilla
1-1/4 cup FRESH strawberries, chopped
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Prep a cupcake pan with liners.
In a large bowl, cream the butter and sugar until fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
In a separate bowl combine the flour, baking powder and salt.
Add the dry ingredients to the creamed mixture, alternating with the milk. Mix until blended. Fold in the vanilla and strawberries.
Fill cupcake cups 3/4 full, bake 20+ minutes, 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!

Is there any particular reason for folding in the vanilla with the strawberries as opposed to stirring it in with the milk? Just curious!

@Jami
It’s just a preference. I’ve seen addition of vanilla at the end of recipes sometimes so the flavor doesn’t get ‘lost’. But you can do it however you like! As long as that delicious vanilla flavor is in there, I’m sure it’s fine!

I put some mini chocolate chips in ‘em and call them muffins. Which sounds healthier!
