Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • ½ cup unsalted butter softened
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 8 oz cream cheese softened
  • ½ cup powdered sugar
  • 1 cup fresh strawberries chopped
  • ¼ cup heavy cream

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare your cupcake pan.
  • In a large mixing bowl, cream together softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  • Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, followed by the vanilla extract.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
  • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing just until combined.
  • Divide the batter evenly among the cupcake liners, filling each about two-thirds full.
  • Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  • Remove from the oven and let the cupcakes cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.
  • In a separate bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth and creamy.
  • Add powdered sugar and mix until fully incorporated.
  • Fold in the chopped strawberries gently to maintain their shape.
  • Once the cupcakes are completely cooled, fill each with cheesecake filling using a piping bag.
  • In a new bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form and then pipe it onto each filled cupcake.
  • Garnish with additional strawberry slices if desired.
