Happy Sweet Friday guys!

The weekend is almost here so is my recipe, and it’s sweet and indulgent, just perfect for the weekend!

As the strawberry season is here, I can’t help but make strawberry recipes. And we all know strawberries taste amazingly delicious with cream. So this is what I did – really simple cupcakes with fresh strawberries and light and fluffy cream. Trust me, these were to die for. But bear in mind, you should eat them on the day you make them (not that it was a problem for us)!

Here’s what you need.

Preparation:

  1. Preheat the oven to 180°/350°F.
  2. In a bowl, mix in the dry ingredients and start gradually adding the wet ingredients. Mix well.
  3. Empty the mixture in a muffin tray and bake in the oven for about 25 minutes or until ready.
  4. Meanwhile, in a separate bowl, whisk in the cream with a handful of the fresh strawberries(I don’t add extra sugar in the cream because the cakes are already quite sweet and I think this way it tastes much lighter, fresher and  tastier in general).
  5. When the cakes are ready, take them out of the oven and leave to cool down. Scoop out a small amount of the muffin so you can fit a strawberry.
  6. Place a strawberry on each and every muffin and then spritz the strawberry cream.
  7. To serve, add a sliced strawberry on top.
Enjoy!
