Description

Delicious and fluffy strawberry cupcakes topped with whipped cream and fresh strawberries.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 large eggs
  • ½ cup whole milk
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup fresh strawberries, sliced (for topping)
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 2 tbsp powdered sugar

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a cupcake pan with liners.
  2. In a bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  3. In another bowl, beat softened butter until creamy. Gradually add sugar until light and fluffy (about 3 minutes).
  4. Add eggs one at a time along with vanilla extract, mixing until smooth.
  5. Alternate adding the milk and dry mixture into the butter mixture until just combined; do not overmix.
  6. Fill each cupcake liner two-thirds full with batter and bake for 18-20 minutes or until golden brown and springy to touch.
  7. Cool completely before topping with whipped cream and strawberries.

Notes

  • Make sure the butter is softened to room temperature for best results.
  • For a variation, you can add lemon zest to the batter for a citrus flavor.
