Ingredients

  • *for the cupcakes*
  • ½ cup flour
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • 4 tablespoon unsalted butter softened
  • 4 tablespoon white sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 3 tablespoon milk
  • 2 tablespoon strawberry milk powder
  • pinch of salt
  • pink food coloring optional
  • *for the frosting*
  • ½ stick unsalted butter softened
  • 1 ½ cups powdered sugar
  • 2 tablespoon strawberry milk powder
  • 1-2 tablespoon heavy cream
  • pinch of salt

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350F, and line a muffin pan with 6 cupcake liners.
  • In a medium bowl, beat together the butter and sugar for the cupcakes until light and creamy. Beat in the egg, followed by the strawberry milk powder.
  • Mix in the flour, baking powder, and salt, and finally stir in the milk. Add 1-2 drops of pink food coloring, if desired.
  • Divide the batter evenly among the 6 liners, and bake for 12-15 minutes, until cupcakes are fluffy and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  • Let cupcakes cool completely before frosting.
  • To make the frosting, beat together the butter and strawberry milk powder in a stand mixer with the whisk attachment.
  • Add in the powdered sugar, a ½ cup at a time, followed by the heavy cream and pinch of salt, until a creamy frosting forms. You can add more or less heavy cream depending on how stiff you want the frosting. Decorate cupcakes as desired and enjoy!
