For this from-scratch strawberry cupcake recipe, lots of cupcakes were tested and tasted. I was determined to make a perfect strawberry cupcake to go with a strawberry frosting I developed a couple of years ago. The trick is not using a purée, as I do when making frosting. Rather, I grind freeze-dried strawberries into a powder yields great results — it brought this cupcake recipe out of my test kitchen and into my recipe box!

Ingredients

  • ¼ ounces freeze-dried strawberries: 1 piece
  • all-purpose flour: 0.75 cup
  • cake flour: 0.75 cup
  • ½ teaspoons baking powder: 1 piece
  • baking soda: 0.25 tsp
  • salt: 0.5 tsp
  • unsalted butter, room temperature: 0.5 cup
  • ⅓ cups white sugar: 1 piece
  • eggs, room temperature: 3 piece
  • vanilla extract: 1 tsp
  • whole milk, room temperature: 0.66667 cup

  3. Beat butter and sugar in a bowl with an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Mixture should be noticeably lighter in color. Add room-temperature eggs one at a time, allowing each egg to blend into butter mixture before adding the next. Beat in vanilla extract.
