Ingredients
  

  • Strawberry Cupcakes
  • 3/4 cup Sugar
  • 4 Egg Whites
  • 6 tablespoons Butter softened
  • 5 tablespoons Sour Cream
  • 1 tablespoon Vanilla Extract
  • 1 1/4 cups All Purpose Flour
  • 2 teaspoons Baking Powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon Salt
  • 6 tablespoons Milk
  • 4 tablespoons fresh or frozen Strawberreis pureed
  • Honey & Vanilla Buttercream Frosting
  • 3 cups Powdered Sugar
  • 3 tablespoons Milk
  • 3 tablespoons Butter softened
  • 1 tablespoon Vanilla Bean Paste
  • 1 tablespoon Vanilla Extract
  • 1 tablespoon Local Honey
  • 3 drops Turquoise Food Coloring
  • 1 handful Rainbow Sprinkles

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F and line a cupcake pan with paper liners.
  • For the cupcakes: With a Kitchen-Aid or electric mixer, beat the butter and sugar until creamy, 2 minutes or so.
  • Add the sour cream and vanilla extract, until blended.
  • Add the egg whites, one at a time, until blended.
  • In a separate bowl, combine all the dry ingredients.  In a third bowl, combine the milk and strawberries.
  • Add a small amount of dry mixture to your batter, blending as you add.  Then alternate between strawberry mixture and dry mixture until all the ingredients are added.
  • Fill cupcake liners 1/2 - 2/3 of the way full.  Bake at 350 degrees F for 15 minutes, rotating them about halfway through.
  • After 15 minutes test them by inserting a toothpick into the center of one cupcake.  Remove the cupcakes when the toothpick comes out clean.  Total time 15-20 minutes.
  • After a few minutes, remove the cupcakes from the tray and allow to cool for several hours.

Once the cupcakes are cool, prepare the Honey & Vanilla Buttercream Frosting:

  • Blend together the powdered sugar, milk, honey, vanilla bean paste and vanilla extract until whipped.
  • Add the turquoise food coloring and blend until you reach the desired shade of turquoise.
  • Messily whip the frosting on top of the cupcakes.
  • Roll the edges in rainbow sprinkles.
  • Serve on a festive occasion!
