Vanilla Cupcakes with Whole Strawberries Recipe

These moist vanilla cupcakes are stuffed with juicy whole strawberries, making them the ideal strawberry treat. The cupcakes are simple to make and suitable for a variety of occasions, including birthday parties and afternoon tea.

Ingredients

Wash and hull 12 whole strawberries
1/2 cup whole milk
1/4 tsp baking soda
1 and 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 tsp salt
Two large eggs
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup unsalted butter, room temp

Time Needed

Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 25 minutes
Total Time: 40 minutes

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius).
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 large mixing bowl, cream the butter and sugar together with an electric mixer until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Beat in the eggs one at a time, beating thoroughly after each addition.
Incorporate the vanilla extract.
In three parts, add the flour mixture, alternating with the milk in two parts, beginning and ending with the flour mixture.
Mix until everything is just combined.
Divide the batter among the muffin cups in an even layer.
Place a whole strawberry in the centre of each cupcake, covering it completely with batter.
Bake the cupcakes for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the centre comes out clean.
Allow to cool for 5 minutes in the pan before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
