Strawberry Cupcakes Recipe
The sun is shining, the kids are enjoying their summer break, and the strawberries are ready to be picked. I love a juicy red strawberry especially dipped in chocolate. So it is not surprising that adding strawberries to a favorite treat such as a cupcake would be a perfect pairing. Frosting or not you can’t go wrong dusting your cupcakes with a little cinnamon and sugar. These strawberry cupcakes remind me of picking strawberries with my grandmother and baking in her kitchen. Thank you to Chefdehome for this amazing recipe!
