Ingredients
For the Cupcakes:
1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
¼ teaspoon salt
½ cup unsalted butter, softened
¾ cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
½ cup milk
4 oz white chocolate, melted
For the Strawberry Buttercream:
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
3 ½ cups powdered sugar
¼ cup strawberry puree
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Fresh strawberries for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with cupcake liners.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.
- In a large bowl, cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, then stir in vanilla extract.
- Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, alternating with milk, until just combined. Stir in melted white chocolate.
- Divide the batter evenly among the cupcake liners and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let cool completely.
- For the frosting, beat butter until smooth. Gradually add powdered sugar, then strawberry puree and vanilla extract, beating until fluffy.
- Frost the cooled cupcakes and garnish with fresh strawberries if desired.
Notes
Ensure cupcakes are completely cooled before frosting to prevent the frosting from melting.
For best results, use room temperature ingredients.
If storing, keep in an airtight container. Frosted cupcakes should be refrigerated if stored longer than a couple of days.
