BERRY Important Tips
Here are some basic useful tips for baking these strawberry cupcakes.
- When measuring your flour make sure your not scooping directly from the bag. This can cause inaccurate measurements and your recipe may not turn out. Use a spoon to scoop the flour from the bag to the measuring cup and level it off with the back end of a knife.
- Have your strawberries chopped and ready to go before you get started. You don’t want to blend everything together and then realize your strawberries aren’t prepped and ready to be added to the batter. ( I did that once … yes me ha! Talking from experience here. )
- If you don’t have strawberry extract … no problem! I tested this recipe without it, and it’s just as good.
- This recipe can be made with real dairy butter. I tested it … all the measurements remain the same. Just swap it out!
- It’s good to note that Earth Balance Butter has a new ” unsalted buttery sticks line”. If you decide to use unsalted butter sticks whether you are using Earth Balance or real butter, be sure to add 1/4 tsp. of salt to this recipe.
- If you forget to leave your butter out to room temp. You can soften your cold butter sticks in a microwave safe bowl for 10 to 20 seconds. You don’t want the butter melted – just soft.
