Ingredients

35 grams freeze-dried strawberries
90 grams all-purpose flour
90 grams cake flour
1.5 teaspoons baking powder
0.25 teaspoon baking soda
0.5 teaspoon salt
320 grams white sugar
113 grams unsalted butter, room temperature
3 eggs, room temperature
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
160 grams whole milk, room temperature

Directions

Step 1
Preheat the oven to 175 degrees C (350 degrees F). Place cupcake liners in a muffin tin to prepare for 20 cupcakes.
Step 2
Using a coffee grinder or food processor, finely grind the freeze-dried strawberries into a powder. In a medium bowl, whisk together the strawberry powder, flours, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined. Set aside.
Step 3
In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to beat together the sugar and butter until fluffy and light in color. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla until fully incorporated.
Step 4
Alternately stir the flour mixture and milk into the butter mixture until just combined. Portion the batter into the prepared muffin cups.
Step 5
Bake in the preheated oven for 16 to 18 minutes, or until the cupcakes spring back when gently touched or a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
