Ingredients 

Cupcakes

  • 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1.5 teaspoon baking powder
  • 0.25 teaspoon salt
  • 0.5 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 0.5 cup whole milk

Frosting

  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 2 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup fresh strawberries, diced

Instructions 

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a cupcake tin with liners.
  2. In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.
  3. In another bowl, beat the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, then mix in the vanilla extract.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with the milk. Mix until just combined.
  5. Divide the batter evenly among the cupcake liners. Bake for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let cool completely.
  6. For the frosting, whip the heavy cream, sugar, and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form.
  7. Once the cupcakes are cool, frost them with the whipped cream and top with diced strawberries.
