Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups (190 g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup (113 g) unsalted butter, softened
  • ¾ cup (150 g) granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • ½ cup (120 ml) whole milk (or almond milk for lighter twist)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ⅓ cup (80 ml) champagne or sparkling wine (dry brut preferred)
  • ¼ cup (60 ml) champagne or sparkling wine (for glaze)
  • ½ cup (60 g) powdered sugar (for glaze)
  • ½ cup (113 g) unsalted butter, softened (for frosting)
  • 2 cups (240 g) powdered sugar (for frosting)
  • ½ cup (75 g) fresh strawberries, finely chopped
  • 2 tablespoons strawberry jam (optional)
  • 1–2 tablespoons heavy cream (to adjust frosting consistency)
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract (for frosting)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with cupcake liners.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, beat softened butter and granulated sugar with an electric mixer until pale and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
  4. Beat in eggs one at a time, scraping down the bowl after each addition.
  5. Mix in vanilla extract. Alternate adding the flour mixture and milk, beginning and ending with flour. Beat on low speed just until combined; do not overmix.
  6. Gently fold in champagne with a spatula to keep batter airy.
  7. Spoon batter evenly into liners, filling about ⅔ full.
  8. Bake for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
  9. Cool cupcakes in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack.
  10. Whisk together champagne and powdered sugar for the glaze until smooth. Brush glaze over warm cupcakes.
  11. Beat softened butter for frosting until creamy. Gradually add powdered sugar.
  12. Mix in chopped strawberries, strawberry jam, vanilla extract, and heavy cream until fluffy. Adjust cream for desired spreadability.
  13. Frost cupcakes generously once completely cool using a piping bag or spatula.
  14. Optionally garnish with a small slice of fresh strawberry or edible glitter.

Notes

Use firm, ripe strawberries for best flavor. To avoid alcohol, substitute champagne with sparkling white grape juice. Brush glaze on warm cupcakes for best absorption. Add heavy cream slowly to frosting to control consistency. Cupcakes can be frozen unfrosted for up to 2 months.
