Strawberry Cupcakes - my new summer fav.

With Strawberries so cheap this summer these cupcakes are a definate must try & have become a favourite of mine.

You will need...

• 120g sugar
• 55g unsalted butter
• 1 large egg
• 180ml natural yogurt
• 2 tsp vanilla extract
• 170g self-raising flour
• 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1/4 tsp baking soda
• 1/2 cup fresh strawberries, diced
• 60g butter, softened
• 60g cream cheese
• 200g icing sugar, sifted
• Fresh strawberries to garnish

Cream the sugar & unsalted butter until light & fluffy.

Add egg, yogurt & 1tsp vanilla extract, stirring until smooth & well blended.

Sift in flour, baking powder, salt & baking powder & mix.

Fold in the strawberries

Spoon the mixture into about 12 cupcakes & bake at 180C for about 20-25 mins

To make the frosting cream together the softened butter & cream cheese until creamy.

Gradually add the icing sugar, then the remaining vanilla extract.

When the cupcakes are cool add the frosting & garnish with a strawberry (I used wild strawberries from my garden)
