Instructions
Step 1: Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking the cupcakes.
Step 2: Prepare Cupcake Liners
Line a cupcake pan with cupcake liners to make removing the cupcakes easier after baking.
Step 3: Combine the Dry Ingredients
In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt until evenly combined.
Step 4: Cream the Butter and Sugar
In a separate bowl, beat the softened butter and sugar together until light and fluffy.
Step 5: Add the Eggs and Vanilla
Add eggs one at a time to the butter-sugar mixture, beating well after each addition. Then, mix in the vanilla extract.
Step 6: Incorporate the Dry Ingredients
Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk. Stir until just combined.
Step 7: Fill the Cupcake Liners
Scoop the batter into the lined cupcake pan, filling each cup about two-thirds full.
Step 8: Bake the Cupcakes
Place the cupcake pan in the preheated oven and bake for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Step 9: Cool the Cupcakes
Once baked, remove the cupcakes from the oven and let them cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 10: Prepare the White Chocolate Frosting
Melt the white chocolate and mix it with the butter and powdered sugar until smooth and fluffy.
Step 11: Frost the Cupcakes
Once the cupcakes are completely cool, frost them generously with the white chocolate frosting.
Step 12: Add the Fresh Strawberry Toppings
Garnish the frosted cupcakes with fresh strawberries on top for a delightful finish.
