This strawberry cake muffin is closer to a cupcake without frosting than to a breadlike muffin.
It actually is a strawberry cupcake base on which I mount strawberry buttercream when I make cupcakes. Even though I love making cupcakes, I try not to feed too much sweet things to my kids or Mr. D regularly. Therefore, buttercream can only be nice occasional treats.
I'll post the recipe to make strawberry buttercream, when I will make cupcakes.
My kids like "strawberry muffins" as they are softer than usual muffins. Well, of course it is supposed to be softer than an usual muffin, isn't it? :)
Strawberry muffin(cupcake) is easy to make.
The most difficult part would be making strawberry buttercream,
but as I said above, I'm only going to make cake part.
You will love this.
It's fruity and soft!
Here goes the recipe:
Ingredients
(yields 15-16 muffins)
1 Cup + 1/3 Cup + 1 Tablespoon (=340ml) all-purpose flour
1/4 Cup Cake flour
1+1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 Cup unsalted butter
1 Cup sugar
1/2 cup milk
3/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 eggs
1 Cup strawberres, chopped
1/4 Cup Cake flour
1+1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 Cup unsalted butter
1 Cup sugar
1/2 cup milk
3/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 eggs
1 Cup strawberres, chopped
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line standard muffin tins with paper liners.
2. Sift dry ingredients.
3. Cream butter and sugar with a mixer until light and fluffy.
4. Add eggs, 1 at a time, beating after each addition.
6. Reduce speed to low. Add dry ingredients to butter mixture in 3 additions, alternating with wet ingredients.
The alternation starts with dry ingredients and ends with dry, i.e. 1/3 dry ingredients -> 1/2 milk -> 1/3 dry ingredients -> 1/2 milk -> 1/3 dry ingredients.
Scrape sides of bowl. Batter is almost ready by now.
9. Divide batter among muffin cups, filling each 2/3 full.
I forgot to take both shots of the muffin on a plate and of halved.
I'll update this recipe with the pictures when I make the strawberry buttercream.
Meahwhile, try this soft cakelike strawberry muffin.
You will like it!
Enjoy!
