Strawberry cupcakes

Ingredients:

125 g butter
200 ml sugar
2 eggs
450 ml flour
1 tsp vanilla sugar
2 tsp baking soda
150 ml cream mixed with milk
500 ml strawberries

White chocolate frosting:  

60 g butter
200 g cream cheese
200-300 ml icing sugar
1 tsp vanilla sugar
200 g white chocolate
Red food colouring

Fresh strawberries for decoration.

How you do this:

Preheat oven to 200 degrees.
Beat the butter and sugar light and fluffy with an electric mixer. Add the eggs one at a time while you continue to whisk the mix.

Mix the flour, vanilla sugar and baking powder. Stir the flour mizture and the cream mix into the batter. Continue whisking until the batter is completely smooth and even.

Spread  2/3 of the batter into the molds. Clean the strawberries and divide them into four parts. Push a couple of parts into each form.

Bake in the center of the oven for about 15-20 minutes or until the cupcakes have a nice colour.


White chocolate frosting:

Beat the butter and cream cheese soft. Stir in the icing sugar and the vanilla sugar.

Break the chocolate into small pieces and melt it in a water bath. Let the chocolate cool a bit before you add it to the mixture.

Add the food colouring, mix to a smooth and thick frosting. Add more icing sugar if the frosting seems too loose. Pipe the mixture on the top of the cupcakes.
Decorate each with half a strawberry.
