Ingredients

• 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
• 2 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• ½ cup milk
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• ½ teaspoon salt
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
• 1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced

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 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, then stir in the vanilla extract.
4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk. Mix until just combined.
6. Divide the batter evenly among the cupcake liners, filling each about two-thirds full.
7. Bake for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Allow them to cool completely on a wire rack.
8. While the cupcakes are cooling, prepare the whipped frosting. In a chilled bowl, beat the heavy cream and powdered sugar until stiff peaks form.
9. Once the cupcakes are cool, generously pipe the whipped frosting on top of each cupcake.
10. Garnish with fresh strawberry slices on top of the frosting.

Tips for the Best Results

• Make sure your butter is softened to room temperature for easy creaming with sugar.
• Don’t overmix the batter; it can lead to dense cupcakes.
• Chill your mixing bowl and beaters before whipping the cream for a fluffier texture.
• Use fresh strawberries for the best flavor and presentation.

Easy Variations

• Swap out strawberries for raspberries or blueberries for a berry medley.
• Add a splash of lemon juice to the whipped cream for a zesty twist.
• Incorporate chocolate chips into the batter for a chocolate-strawberry combo.
• Top the cupcakes with a drizzle of chocolate ganache for extra indulgence.

What to Serve With It

• A scoop of vanilla ice cream for a delightful pairing.
• Fresh fruit salad to complement the sweetness.
• A cup of coffee or tea for a perfect afternoon treat.
• Sparkling lemonade for a refreshing beverage option.
