Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with cupcake liners.
In a mixing bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
In another bowl, whisk together the flour and baking powder. Gradually add to the butter mixture, alternating with the milk. Fold in the chopped strawberries.
Divide the batter evenly among the cupcake liners, filling each about ⅔ full.
Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow to cool in the tin for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
