Ingredients

• 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 0.5 cups Unsalted butter, softened
• 1 cups Granulated sugar
• 2 Large eggs
• 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 0.5 cups Fresh strawberries, finely chopped and pureed
• 0.25 cups Whole milk
• 2.5 cups Powdered sugar
• 0.5 cups Unsalted butter, softened (for frosting)
• 0.25 cups Fresh strawberry puree (for frosting)
• 0.5 teaspoons Vanilla extract (for frosting)
• 0.125 teaspoons Salt (for frosting)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin 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, beat the softened butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 4

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

Step 5

Add the strawberry puree and mix until fully incorporated.

Step 6

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients in three additions, alternating with the milk. Begin and end with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined; do not overmix.

Step 7

Divide the batter evenly among the cupcake liners, filling each about two-thirds full.

Step 8

Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a cupcake comes out clean. Allow the cupcakes to cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 9

While the cupcakes cool, prepare the frosting: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter until smooth and creamy, about 2 minutes.

Step 10

Gradually add the powdered sugar, beating well after each addition. Mix in the strawberry puree, vanilla extract, and salt. Beat until the frosting is light and fluffy.

Step 11

Once the cupcakes are completely cool, frost them using a piping bag or by spreading the frosting with a spatula.

Step 12

Garnish with a fresh strawberry slice or sprinkles, if desired, and serve!
