Strawberry Cupcakes with Strawberry Buttercream Recipe
Perfect for little girl’s birthday parties, themed baby showers, Mother’s Day, Valentine’s Day, or celebrating 80’s cartoons like Jem or Strawberry Shortcake :)
Ingredients
- For the cupcakes:
- 2/3 cup whole fresh or frozen strawberries (thawed)
- 1 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/4 cup whole milk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 egg, room temperature
- 1 egg white, room temperature
- For the frosting:
- 1/2 cup fresh or frozen strawberries, thawed
- 1 cup unsalted butter, slightly softened but still cold
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 3 1/2 cups confectioners' sugar
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and line a 12 tin muffin tin with cupcake liners. Set aside.
- Place strawberries in a small food processor and puree until smooth (I pureed the berries for batter and frosting at the same time).
- In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, salt and baking powder. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1/3 cup strawberry puree, milk and vanilla.
- In an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat butter until light and fluffy. Gradually add sugar and beat until combined. Slowly add egg and egg whites until just blended.
- With the mixer on low, slowly add half of the flour mixture. Once that is incorporated, add in strawberry mixture. Slowly add remaining flower and scrape down sides of bowl if necessary.
- Divide batter evenly into muffin cups and bake for 20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let cool completely before icing.
- While cupcakes cook, prepare the frosting by beating together butter and salt until fluffy. Reduce mixer to low and add confectionerâs sugar. Beat until well combined. Add vanilla and 3 Tbsp strawberry puree. Do not overmix
