Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup butter, softened
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 cup strawberry puree
  • 1/2 cup buttercream frosting

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a 12 cup muffin tin.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla.
  3. Combine the flour, baking powder and salt; stir into the creamed mixture alternately with the milk and strawberry puree. Fill the muffin tin 3/4 full.
  4. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a cupcake comes out clean. Cool cupcakes in the tin for 10 minutes then remove from the tin and cool completely on a wire rack.
  5. Frost the cooled cupcakes with the buttercream frosting.
