Method
 

Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a cupcake pan with liners.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, softened unsalted butter, eggs, vanilla extract, whole milk, and baking powder. Mix until smooth and creamy, about 2-3 minutes.
  3. Spoon the batter into each cupcake liner, filling them about two-thirds full. Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until golden brown.
  4. While the cupcakes cool, beat the unsalted butter until creamy. Gradually add the powdered sugar, then the heavy cream and vanilla extract. Mix until light and fluffy.
  5. Gently fold in the pureed strawberries into your frosting, mixing thoroughly.
  6. Frost each cupcake generously with the strawberry cream frosting once completely cooled.
  7. Top with sliced fresh strawberries and whipped cream for added sweetness.
