If you’re a fan of strawberries, then you’ll be a fan of this strawberry cupcakes recipe. They’re bursting with strawberry flavor! The cake seemed a bit thick when mixed, but it baked up light and fluffy with just enough strawberry flavor without being overly sweet. The strawberry buttercream is rich, creamy, and makes this recipe perfect.
