  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 cup fresh strawberries, pureed
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1 cup fresh strawberries, diced (for garnish)
  • Whipped cream (for garnish)

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin pan with cupcake liners.
  2. In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
  3. In a separate mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  4. Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  5. Mix in the sour cream and strawberry puree until well combined.
  6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk. Begin and end with the dry ingredients, mixing just until incorporated.
  7. Fill each cupcake liner about 2/3 full with the batter.
  8. Bake for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a cupcake comes out clean.
  9. Allow the cupcakes to cool in the pan for a few minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  10. Once cooled, frost the cupcakes with whipped cream and top each one with diced fresh strawberries.
  11. Serve and enjoy!
