Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup unsalted butter, softened

- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup fresh strawberries, pureed
- 1 cup whipped cream or cream cheese frosting (for topping)

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a muffin tin with cupcake liners.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Cream Butter and Sugar: In a large bowl, cream the softened butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy.
- Add Eggs and Vanilla: Beat in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.
- Incorporate Strawberry Puree: Add the pureed strawberries to the butter mixture, stirring until fully incorporated.
- Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing just until combined. Do not overmix.
- Fill Cupcake Liners: Pour the batter into the prepared cupcake liners, filling each about two-thirds full.
- Bake: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
- Cool: Remove the cupcakes from the oven and allow them to cool in the tin for about 10 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Frost the Cupcakes: Once cooled, generously top each cupcake with whipped cream or cream cheese frosting.
- Add Crunch Topping: Finally, sprinkle the strawberry crunch topping over the frosted cupcakes for that delightful crunch.
