tbsp

tbsp

Instructions
Preheat oven to 350
Line your pan with cupcake liners, or spray with nonstick spray - set aside
Add 1 stick of butter to stand mixer (or you can use a bowl with hand mixer) and whip the butter for about 2 minutes until it is light and fluffy.
Add the granulated sugar, flour, baking powder, baking soda, and 1/2 tsp salt to the bowl.
Mix on medium speed until combined.
One at a time, add the eggs, sour cream, and 1 tbsp of vanilla to the bowl. Scraping the sides as needed.
Mix until smooth.
Add the regular milk and mix briefly on low speed, just until combined.
Remove the mixture from the mixer and add the strawberries.
Fold in the strawberries by hand.
Fill each cupcake liner 2/3 of the way full.
Bake in the oven for 12-16 minutes. Check to be sure they are done by using a toothpick inserted in the center. If it comes out clean they are done.
Allow them to cool completely.
While your cupcakes are cooling, add 2 sticks of butter to the stand mixer.
Whisk the butter until it is light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add in the strawberry syrup, strawberry milk, and vanilla extract. Whip for 1 additional minute.
Slowly add in the powdered sugar 1/2 cup at a time whipping the mixture fully in between each addition.
Once all of the powdered sugar has been added, add your pinch of salt and whip the mixture until stiff peaks form.
Once the stiff peaks form, allow it to mix on medium speed for 1 additional minute.
Frost your cooled cupcakes with the buttercream frosting and enjoy!
