Ingredients
For the cupcakes:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup cocoa powder
- 1 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup buttermilk
For the Strawberry Filling:
- 1 1/2 cups fresh strawberries, diced
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons water
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line two 12-cup muffin pans with cupcake liners and set aside.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. In a separate bowl, beat together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, beating after each addition. Beat in the vanilla extract.
Alternately add the dry ingredients and the buttermilk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Beat until just combined. Divide the batter between the lined muffin cups and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a cupcake comes out clean. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
To make the strawberry filling, add the diced strawberries and sugar to a medium saucepan and cook over medium heat for 10 minutes. In a small bowl, whisk together the cornstarch and water. Add the cornstarch mixture to the strawberries and continue to cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring constantly, until the mixture has thickened. Allow to cool completely before filling the cupcakes.
