  • Vanilla essence - 1/2 tsp
  • Butter - 1 tbsp
  • Powdered sugar - 1 1/2 cups

Cooking Directions

Pre-heat oven to 350 F. Place cupcake liners in the cupcake pan. Keep aside.

In a bowl, mix flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt and keep aside the dry ingredients.

In a bowl, cream the softened butter and sugar till smooth. Add the egg and beat well.

Mix in the buttermilk, vanilla essence, strawberry essence and strawberry puree and mix well.

With a wooden spoon, mix the the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients to combine.

Do not over mix. Just mix till there is no trace of flour.

Pour the batter into the prepared cupcake liners up to 2/3 full.

Bake in a pre-heated oven until a toothpick inserted inside comes out clean, approx 20-24 mts.

Cool completely before frosting with fresh strawberry cream cheese frosting.

To prepare frosting, sift powdered sugar into a bowl. Beat butter and cream cheese at medium speed until smooth.

Add half of the powdered sugar and beat until combined.

Add strawberry sauce until you achieve the right color and flavor, don’t add too much or the frosting will be too soft.

Slowly add the remaining powdered sugar. Taste the frosting and check for consistency.

If you need a sweeter frosting and a thicker consistency, add a little more powdered sugar.
