Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 cups (360 milliliters) all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup (120 milliliters) unsalted butter, softened
- 3/4 cup (150 grams) granulated sugar
Flavoring Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup (85 grams) white chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup (75 grams) finely chopped fresh strawberries
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Dry Ingredients:
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup (120 milliliters) milk
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a 12-cup muffin tin with cupcake liners.
- Whisk flour, baking powder, and salt thoroughly in a medium bowl for uniform distribution.
- Cream butter and sugar in a large bowl until achieving a light, airy texture with soft peaks.
- Incorporate eggs individually, mixing thoroughly after each addition and blending in vanilla extract.
- Alternate adding dry ingredients and milk to the mixture, ensuring smooth and consistent batter development.
- Delicately incorporate white chocolate chips and chopped strawberries, folding gently to maintain ingredient integrity.
- Distribute batter evenly across cupcake liners, filling approximately two-thirds full.
- Bake for 18-20 minutes, verifying doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center – it should emerge clean.
- Rest cupcakes in the pan for 5 minutes to stabilize structure.
- Transfer cupcakes to a wire cooling rack, allowing complete cooling before decorative frosting.
- Optional: Embellish with additional white chocolate shavings or fresh strawberry slices for visual appeal.
Notes
- Ensure butter and eggs are at room temperature for smoother batter and better texture.
- Chop strawberries into small, uniform pieces to distribute evenly throughout cupcakes.
- Fold chocolate chips and strawberries gently to prevent overmixing, which can make cupcakes tough.
- For gluten-free option, substitute all-purpose flour with a gluten-free blend and add xanthan gum for better structure.
