Decadent Strawberry Shortcake Cupcakes :

Recipe Ingredients:

• Cupcakes:
  • 1 and 2/3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 1/4 cup sour cream, room temperature
  • 3/4 cup milk, room temperature
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• Filling:
  • 1 cup diced strawberries
• Frosting:
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened to room temperature
  • 4 cups confectioners’ sugar
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt

Directions:

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (177°C) and line a 12-cup muffin pan with cupcake liners.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
3. In a large bowl, whisk the melted butter and granulated sugar together until combined. Add the egg, sour cream, milk, and vanilla extract, then whisk until fully combined.
4. Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until no lumps remain.
5. Spoon the batter evenly into the cupcake liners, filling each about 2/3 full.
6. Bake for 18-21 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow cupcakes to cool completely before filling and frosting.
7. Once cooled, use a knife to cut a small hole in the center of each cupcake. Fill with diced strawberries.
8. For the frosting, beat the butter on high speed until creamy. Add the confectioners’ sugar, heavy cream, vanilla extract, and salt. Beat on low speed for 30 seconds, then increase to high speed and beat for 2 minutes.
9. Frost the cupcakes and top each with a fresh strawberry slice, if desired.
