Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a cupcake pan with paper liners.
In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
In another bowl, cream softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy (about 3 minutes).
Beat in eggs one at a time along with vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
Gradually mix in dry ingredients alternately with milk until just combined; do not overmix.
Spoon the batter into prepared cupcake liners about two-thirds full.
Bake for 18-20 minutes or until golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean.
While cupcakes cool, beat butter until creamy, then gradually add powdered sugar and crushed strawberries until smooth.
Once cooled completely, frost each cupcake generously with strawberry frosting.
