Ingredients
  

Cupcakes

  • 1 ¼ cup all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup Wheat Flour or use all all-purpose flour
  • 2 eggs at room temperature
  • ½ cup buttermilk
  • ½ cup canola oil
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp baking soda
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ½ cup sugar
  • ½ tsp strawberry essence
  • 6-8 strawberries sliced

Frosting

  • ½ cup butter softened
  • 2 cup Sugar
  • ½ cup strawberries pureed
  • 2 tbsp milk

Cinnamon-Sugar Dusting (Optional)

  • Combine 1 tbsp fine sugar with 1 tsp cinnamon powder and dust over the cupcakes.

Instructions
 

Cupcakes

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Mix all dry ingredients in a bowl and set aside.
  • Take all wet ingredients in another wide bowl and whisk to combine evenly.
  • Add dry ingredients to wet ingredients in 3 batches and combine with a gentle stroke after each addition until just combined. Do not overmix.
  • Scoop the batter evenly into cupcake molds. Top each cupcake with a slice of strawberry.
  • Bake for 12 -14 minutes at 350 °F or until cupcakes are done and springy to touch.
  • Let them cool in a pan for a few minutes, then remove to a cooling rack to cool completely.

Frosting

  • In a large bowl or jar of stand mixer, beat soft butter until creamy.
  • Add confectioners’ sugar, strawberries puree, and milk and continue beating until nice and fluffy.
  • Transfer the frosting into a piping bag and frost the cupcakes.
  • Top each cupcake with a slice of strawberry for garnish.

Notes

I used a non-stick cupcake pan, however, if using a regular pan, always use cupcake liners. If you can’t find strawberry essence, you can also use vanilla extract instead.
