Tips
You can grind freeze-dried strawberries into a fine powder using a coffee grinder, Magic Bullet, or food processor.
You can find freeze-dried strawberries at Trader Joe’s or online, or make your own dried strawberries. If you want to make your own, dry 1 pound of very thinly sliced fresh strawberries in a 180 degrees F (80 degrees C) oven for 8 hours, then grind as above into a fine powder.
Try topping these cupcakes with Real Strawberry Frosting.
This recipe also yields 72 mini cupcakes, as opposed to 20 standard cupcakes. For mini cupcakes, be sure line 72 mini muffin tins when beginning the recipe. When putting the batter in the oven, bake for 8 to 10 minutes.
