Yield: 48 cupcakes • Preparation: 30 minutes • Bake: 10 minutes • Cool: 30 minutes
Ingredients
- ½ cup salted butter, softened
- ⅔ cup sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons strawberry extract
- 1½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1½ teaspoons baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ cup whole milk
- 1 recipe Strawberry Buttercream (recipe follows)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°.
- Line 2 (24-well) mini muffin pans with cupcake liners. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine butter and sugar. Beat at medium speed with an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Add strawberry extract, beating to blend.
- In a medium bowl, combine flour, baking powder, and salt, whisking well. Add flour mixture to butter mixture in thirds, alternately with milk, beating at low speed just to incorporate. Using a levered 2-teaspoon scoop, divide batter among wells of prepared pans.
