Ingredients

• 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
• 2 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
• ½ teaspoon salt
• ½ cup whole milk
• 1 cup fresh strawberries, diced
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
• ½ cup brown sugar
• ½ cup rolled oats
• ½ teaspoon cinnamon

How to Make Strawberry Cream Cupcakes

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a cupcake tin with paper liners.
2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
3. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
4. In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the butter mixture, alternating with the milk. Mix until just combined.
5. Gently fold in the diced strawberries, being careful not to overmix.
6. Fill each cupcake liner about two-thirds full with the batter. Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
7. While the cupcakes are baking, prepare the crumb topping by combining brown sugar, rolled oats, and cinnamon in a bowl.
8. Once the cupcakes are done, remove them from the oven and sprinkle the crumb topping over each cupcake while they are still warm. Return to the oven for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown.
9. Allow the cupcakes to cool completely. In the meantime, whip the heavy cream with powdered sugar until soft peaks form.
10. Top each cooled cupcake generously with whipped cream and garnish with additional fresh strawberries, if desired.

Tips for the Best Results

• Make sure your butter is at room temperature for easier creaming with sugar.
• Don’t overmix the batter once you add the flour to keep the cupcakes light and fluffy.
• Always check for doneness with a toothpick; baking times may vary slightly based on your oven.

Easy Variations

• Substitute blueberries or raspberries for strawberries for a berry mix.
• Add a splash of lemon juice to the batter for a zesty twist.
• For chocolate lovers, fold in chocolate chips along with the strawberries.

What to Serve With It

• A scoop of vanilla ice cream for extra creaminess.
• Fresh fruit salad for a refreshing side.
• A drizzle of chocolate sauce for added indulgence.
