Strawberry Cupcakes with Mascarpone Frosting
Feast your eyes on this glorious creation:
Now, let’s gather our ingredients. You’ll need the following to craft these delightful cupcakes:
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ cup milk
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoons salt
- 1 cup fresh strawberries, chopped
For the oh-so-luscious Mascarpone Frosting, gather these delightful ingredients:
- 1 cup mascarpone cheese
- ½ cup heavy cream
- ½ cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Fresh strawberries for garnish
Now, put on your apron and let’s get baking!
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a cupcake pan with liners. Get those sweet wheels in motion!
- In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until fluffy. It should look like a delightful cloud of happiness!
- Add the eggs, one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract. Beat until well combined—like you’d mix a great playlist!
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk. Mix until just combined. Don’t overdo it, we’re making cupcakes, not a brick!
- Fold in the chopped strawberries, because that’s what brings the sunshine into this recipe!
- Fill each cupcake liner about ⅔ full with batter. Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Your kitchen should smell like a strawberry paradise by now!
- While the cupcakes are cooling, let’s whip up that frosting. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the mascarpone cheese, heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until creamy and fluffy. It should resemble a dreamy cloud!
- Once the cupcakes are cooled, frost them generously with the mascarpone frosting and top off with a fresh strawberry. Make them as fancy as you like!
- Now, step back, admire your work, and then dive right in. These strawberry wonders won’t last long!
