Strawberry Cupcake Recipe

Ingredients
1 1/3 cup fresh strawberries (not
frozen)
3 cups flour
2.5 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp coarse salt
1/2 cup strawberry milk (regular milk is fine, too)
2 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup (2 sticks) butter
2 cups sugar
2 large eggs
4 large egg whites
This recipe makes 2 dozen
Preheat oven to 350
-Place strawberries in a food processor and puree them. You should have 2/3 cup puree.
If you’re a little short go ahead and add a few more strawberries!
-In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.

-In a separate bowl, mix together milk, vanilla, and strawberry puree.
-In another bowl, cream butter with an electric mixer on high speed until the butter
becomes fluffy. Gradually add sugar and continue mixing. Reduce the speed to medium
and add the eggs and the egg whites.

-Now reduce the mixer speed to low and add about half of the flour mixture. Mix until
combined, and be careful not to over mix or your cupcakes won’t rise. Then slowly add
the milk mixture, and mix just enough until combined. Add the remaining flour mixture.
-Pour batter into prepared cupcake tins and place in the preheated oven.

-Cooking times may vary, but it should take somewhere between 20-25 minutes.
