    Vanilla Cupcake, White Chocolate Cream Cheese Frosting, Strawberries on Top!

    Last week I made an amazing cupcake.  I love fresh fruit with vanilla cake.  I like when the cupcake is cool, frosting is a little cool, and then you get the cold fruit.  I’m not a fruit cake fan, but I like fruit on my cake.  Big difference. 😉

    Vanilla Cupcake, White Chocolate Cream Cheese Frosting, Strawberries on Top!

    My husband loved these cupcakes!  His favorite are my Trifle cupcakes.  For vanilla, he said this is his fave!!  They have a texture almost like shortcake.  On to the recipe!

    1 Teaspoon Tahitian Vanilla Extract
    1/4 Teaspoon Vanilla Bean Paste
    1 pint strawberries; for topping
    Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
    In a standmixer, cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.  Add the eggs one at a time.
    Combine the flour, baking powder, and salt.  Then combine the milk with the vanilla extract, paste.

      Gorgeous! Some cupcakes are just so over-the-top these days, it’s nice to get back to the basics. Vanilla cake is so underrated. 🙂

      They really do look good. We make cake pops in orange county, and that would be an amazing flavor combination if we could figure it out.

      Where can you find Tahitian Vanilla extract? I’ve never heard of it before. Perhaps I will try it with regular vanilla extract instead
