Ingredients

• 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1.5 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoons salt
• 0.5 cup unsalted butter (softened)
• 2 pieces large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 0.5 cup milk
• 0.5 cup fresh strawberries (pureed)
• 2 cups powdered sugar
• 0.25 cup fresh strawberries (mashed or pureed for frosting)
• 0.5 cup unsalted butter (softened, for frosting)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 12-cup muffin pan with cupcake liners.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to cream the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 4

Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Then mix in the vanilla extract.

Step 5

Gradually mix in the dry ingredients, alternating with the milk, starting and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined—do not overmix.

Step 6

Gently fold in the 1/2 cup of fresh strawberry puree.

Step 7

Divide the batter evenly among the cupcake liners, filling each about 2/3 full.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a cupcake comes out clean.

Step 9

Let the cupcakes cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

While the cupcakes are cooling, prepare the frosting. In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy.

Step 11

Gradually add the powdered sugar, 1/2 cup at a time, mixing well after each addition.

Step 12

Beat in the 1/4 cup of mashed or pureed strawberries until the frosting is smooth and creamy. If the frosting is too thin, add more powdered sugar; if too thick, add a small amount of additional strawberry puree or milk.

Step 13

Once the cupcakes are completely cooled, frost them with the strawberry frosting using a piping bag or an offset spatula.

Step 14

Garnish with a fresh strawberry slice, if desired, and serve. Enjoy!
