Best Ever Strawberry Cupcakes

Yes!! These are really Best Ever Strawberry cupcakes.

Strawberries!! One of my favorite fruit. The color of it just motivates and keeps you refreshing.

I love to make fruit infused cakes. But I don’t want to lose the original flavor of strawberry. So I started searching for a real strawberry cake not just using the strawberry essence.

There are lot of recipes and I finally landed up in my all time favorite blog Sallysbakingaddiction. This Recipe is adapted from sally’s blog. Her idea of adding the reduced fruit puree in cake is so amazing. It just gives a deep and original flavor of the fruit.

Grinding the Strawberries without adding water and reducing it on stove top will make a thick paste. When you add reduced puree to the cake batter, it gives a deep flavor.

How to make Reduced Strawberry Puree?

  • Puree 500g Strawberries to make 1/2 cup reduced puree. (500g yields 1 cup of puree)
  • In a heavy bottom pan, heat the puree and let it boil.
  • Let it reduce to 1/2 cup. This should be completely cooled before adding to the cake batter.
  • I made it the day before and stored in air tight container.
