Description
Delightful cupcakes bursting with fresh strawberry flavor, perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup fresh strawberries, pureed
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup milk
- Strawberry frosting (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a cupcake pan with liners.
- Cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in the pureed strawberries and vanilla extract until fully combined.
- Whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt in another bowl. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with the milk. Mix until just combined.
- Divide the batter evenly among the cupcake liners, filling each about two-thirds full. Bake for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Allow the cupcakes to cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
Store leftover cupcakes in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. If frosted, refrigerate to maintain freshness for up to a week.
