Strawberry Buttermilk Cupcakes


Hello.
These are my Strawberry Buttermilk Cupcakes.  And they are insanely delicious.
The key is the buttermilk…it makes everything more dense and moist.  I even kept a dozen of these beauties un-frosted and served them as “muffins” the next morning.  Perfection.
Make some.
Today.
This recipe makes about two dozen cupcakes.
Shopping List

For the cupcakes:
1/2 cup butter, softened
1 1/2 cups sugar
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup buttermilk
1 cup of chopped strawberries
For the frosting:
1/2 cup butter, softened
3 cups powdered sugar
A splash or two of buttermilk
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 cup of chopped strawberries

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
Line 2 (12 count) muffin tins with paper liners.
In a large mixing bowl, cream your butter and sugar together.  Next, beat in one egg at a time.  Beat in your vanilla.
In a second large bowl, combine your flour, baking soda and salt together with a spoon.
Slowly beat in a little of the flour mixture into your butter mixture.  Then beat in a little buttermilk.  Repeat two or three times or until everything is incorporated.  Do not over beat your batter.
Stir in your strawberries.
Fill each cupcake liner 2/3 of the way full of batter.
Bake 15 to 20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean.
Let cupcakes rest in pan 10 minutes before removing them to a wire rack to finish cooling.
To make your frosting, beat your butter with powdered sugar.  Add in a splash of buttermilk.  Add more buttermilk if your frosting is too thick and more powdered sugar if it’s too thin.  Once it reaches the desired consistency, stir in your vanilla and chopped strawberries.
Frost cooled cupcakes.  Keep any leftovers refrigerated.
Part muffin, part cupcake, one hundred percent perfection.

    I am so excited to see a recipe for strawberry that doesn't require red dye!! My daughter is allergic to red dye, and I always try to find recipes for things like this that don't call for it. She will love helping me make these! Thanks!

    My Mom made these this weekend and both her and my Dad said they are the best cupcakes they have ever had. Love this recipe!

    I made these for Valentine's Day one day ahead of time and they were a HUGE hit! My almost 2-year-old ate them up. When I asked him if he liked them, all he said was, "more?". My husband loved them too. Serving them for breakfast tomorrow. Thanks for making Valentine's day so YUMMY and sweet.

  61. CampDallas says

    I love to bake, but usually stick to my staples – homemade cookies, brownies, etc. Your blog (and this recipe) inspired me to attempt my first made-from-scratch cupcakes (embarrassing, but true!). We *may* have just eaten them for a valentine's day breakfast (frosted, even!), and my little lovebugs agree…they are delicious! 🙂

  62. Angel says

    Just made these with my kiddos and they turned out great! My daughter said they were the best cupcakes she's ever had!
    Thank you for the delicious recipe 🙂

  63. Rachel Page says

    Wow, what a pretty cupcake. I am going to print out this recipe and make it a family gathering.

  66. Shannon Molenburg says

    I made these today for my husband’s (his name is Shay!!) birthday and they were a hit!! They were delicious and I received so many compliments!!
