Ingredients

Scale

1 cup fresh strawberries (chopped)
1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
2 tsp baking powder
¾ cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
½ cup unsalted butter (softened)
1 tsp vanilla extract
Pinch of salt

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a cupcake tin with paper liners.
In a bowl, mix together flour, baking powder, and salt.
In another bowl, cream the softened butter and sugar until fluffy. Add eggs one at a time and mix in the vanilla extract.
Gradually combine the dry ingredients with the wet mixture, then fold in the chopped strawberries until just mixed.
Fill each cupcake liner two-thirds full and bake for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.

Notes

Use ripe strawberries for optimal flavor; frozen strawberries can be used but must be thawed and drained.
For added flavor, consider incorporating lemon zest or mint leaves into the batter.
