Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup fresh strawberries, pureed
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened (for frosting)
  • 1/2 teaspoon strawberry extract
  • 1 cup crushed strawberry shortcake cookies (for topping)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a cupcake pan with cupcake liners.
  2. Make the Cupcake Batter: In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the milk, vanilla extract, and pureed strawberries.
  3. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined.
  4. Bake the Cupcakes: Divide the batter evenly among the cupcake liners, filling each about two-thirds full. Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow to cool completely.
  5. Prepare the Frosting: In a mixing bowl, beat together the softened butter and powdered sugar until smooth. Add the strawberry extract and mix until well combined.
  6. Frost the Cupcakes: Once the cupcakes are completely cool, frost them generously with the strawberry frosting.
  7. Add the Crunch: Sprinkle the crushed strawberry shortcake cookies on top of the frosted cupcakes for a crunchy finish.
  8. Serve: Enjoy your Strawberry Crunch Cupcakes with friends and family!
