Ingredients:
For the cupcakes: – 1 and 1/2 cups all-purpose flour – 1 teaspoon baking powder – 1/4 teaspoon salt – 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened – 1 cup granulated sugar – 2 large eggs – 1 teaspoon vanilla extract – 1/2 cup whole milk – 1/2 cup chopped fresh strawberries
For the white chocolate ganache: – 8 ounces white chocolate, chopped – 1/2 cup heavy cream
For the strawberry buttercream frosting: – 1 cup unsalted butter, softened – 4 cups powdered sugar – 1/2 cup chopped fresh strawberries – 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Preparation:
Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with cupcake liners. Step 2: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Step 3: In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract. Step 4: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined. Gently fold in the chopped strawberries. Step 5: Divide the batter evenly among the prepared cupcake liners, filling each about 2/3 full. Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow the cupcakes to cool completely on a wire rack.
COOKING Note:
Make sure to let the cupcakes cool completely before frosting them to ensure the frosting sets properly and doesn’t melt.
