Ingredients
Method
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a cupcake pan with paper liners.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition, then stir in the vanilla.
- Gradually add the milk, followed by the flour, baking powder, and salt, mixing until just combined.
Baking
- Pour the batter into the lined cupcake pan, filling each cup two-thirds full.
- Bake for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let cool before transferring to a wire rack.
Strawberry Filling
- Combine the chopped strawberries, sugar, and lemon juice in a small bowl. Let sit for about 15 minutes.
Whipping Cream
- Beat the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until soft peaks form.
Assembly
- Once cupcakes are cool, cut a small cone from the top of each cupcake to create a space for the strawberry filling.
- Fill each hole with the strawberry mixture and top with whipped cream.
Notes
Store cupcakes in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. You can bake the cupcakes a day in advance, filling them before serving. Feel free to experiment with flavors.
