There is plenty of fresh strawberry flavor \u2014 and then some! \u2014 in this strawberry cupcake recipe. Chopped fresh strawberries are reduced on the stove to make a thick puree, which is then used to flavor the actual cupcakes. <\/p>\n

For the strawberry buttercream frosting, I found that freeze-dried strawberries work best. Fresh berries tend to make the frosting curdle and can thin it out too much. I’ve given suggestions on how to substitute the freeze-dried berries, if needed. <\/p>\n

I don’t know about you, but I plan on making these cupcakes on repeat this spring and summer. They’re the perfect way to use up all those fresh berries! <\/p>\n
