The cupcakes had a great flavor and everyone at work and home loved them with the cream cheese icing I used on them, but they were a bit thick. I only used 5 tablespoons of butter, 1/2 cup and 2 tablespoons of milk, 2 teaspoons of baking powder a whole cup of finely chopped strawberries and three lightly beaten egg whites. Again, very delicious but not as light and fluffy as I'd wanted.

I frosted these with Cara's White Chocolate Sour Cream Frosting. I was a little disappointed that they fell a little when i took them from the oven, but that was probably my fault. They still looked really nice though, and the texture was wonderful. I prepared them as described by another reviewer and I didn't use the extract, but used almost .5 liters of strawberries. Still very moist 2 days later.

To make less dense, I think you should cut down on the butter and eggs (say to 6 tbs of butter and only 1 or 2 eggs) and then make up for the lost moisture with 1/2 c whole milk. When beating together butter and sugar, make you are do it for a good 3-4 minutes. It will get noticeable lighter. Also cut the flour a little bit. Finally, only add a pinch of salt. Enjoy!

I've tried making them for the recent mothers day celebration.The texture isn't soft enough for my likings but the taste isn't that bad. Any idea of how to make it more soft and fluffy?
