Ingredients




2/3 cup whole fresh organic strawberries with the tops removed
1/4 cup organic milk
1 tsp vanilla
1 1/2 cups white flour
1 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
1 stick (1/2 cup) unsalted organic butter, at room temperature
1 cup white sugar
1 organic egg
2 egg whites, at room temperature

Preparation

1 Preheat the oven to 350 degrees fahrenheit and line a cupcake pan with cupcake liners. 2 Quarter the strawberries and puree until smooth. Measure 1/3 puree and set aside any extra to use for frosting. 3 Mix the 1/3 cup strawberry puree, milk and vanilla. 4 In a medium bowl whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside. 5 In a large bowl cream the butter until light and fluffy. Continue to mix while slowly adding the sugar. 6 Mix in the egg until just barely incorporated, then add the egg whites 1 at a time until just mixed in. 7 In a few alternating parts, starting and ending with the flour mixture, mix in the flour mixture and strawberry mixture. 8 Spoon the batter into the cupcake pans and bake 20 - 25 minutes, rotating the pans 180 degrees during baking. The cupcakes are done when a toothpick comes out clean after inserting into the middle of the cupcake. 9 Cool 5-10 minutes in the pan then cool completely on a wire rack. Once completely cool to the touch frost the cupcakes with the fresh strawberry frosting.
