  • 1 teaspoon of baking powder

  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the creamed mixture, alternating with the milk, mixing until well combined.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared cupcake pan, filling each cup about 2/3 full.
  7. Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean when inserted into the center.
  8. Let the cupcake cups cool completely in the pan.
  9. Before serving, top each mini cake with sliced strawberries and whipped cream.

Notes

These treats are best enjoyed fresh. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2-3 days. Add whipped cream just before serving.
