These moist, fluffy vanilla cupcakes are bursting with juicy strawberries and a hint of warm cinnamon. They are the ideal dessert for any occasion, topped with a creamy vanilla icing and fresh strawberries.

Ingredients

1 cup confectioners' sugar
1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
1/4 tsp baking soda
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 cup sliced strawberries
1/2 cup milk
2 tbsp unsalted butter, softened
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
1 tbsp milk
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 tsp vanilla extract

Time Needed

Prep Time: 20 minutes
Cook Time: 20 minutes
Total Time: 40 minutes

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
Cupcake liners should be used to line a 12-cup muffin tin.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
In a separate large mixing bowl, cream together the granulated sugar and unsalted butter for 2 minutes, or until light and fluffy.
Beat in the egg until well combined.
In three parts, add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk and vanilla extract, starting and ending with the dry ingredients.
Stir in the sliced strawberries and cinnamon.
Scoop the batter into the prepared muffin cups, filling them about two-thirds full.
Bake the cupcakes for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the centre comes out clean.
Allow to cool completely on a wire rack after removing from the oven.
Whisk together the confectioners' sugar, unsalted butter, milk, and vanilla extract in a small bowl until smooth.
Spread the icing over the cooled cupcakes and top with more sliced strawberries and cinnamon, if desired.
