Ingredients and Steps
This recipe will get you about 24 cupcakes

240g/ 2 cups of all-purpose flour

280g/ 1 1/2 cups sugar
3 teaspoons baking powder
a pinch of salt
80g/ 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
240ml/ 1 cup milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 large eggs, at room temperature
12 large strawberries, chopped into small pieces

• In a large bowl, mix together flour, sugar, baking powder, salt and butter using an electric mixer on slow speed until everything is well-combined and you get a sandy-like consistency
• Pour in milk and vanilla extract.Beat at medium speed until all the ingredients are well-combined.
• Add eggs and beat well for a few minutes.
• Now the cupcake batter is ready

For the cupcake base (optional)

The original recipe didn't mention about making a base but I read about it on a blog and I personally think that having a base is better to support the strawberries that'll melt when it's baked. 

125g of digestive/graham biscuit

3 tablespoons of melted butter

• Mix both of the ingredients together to make the base.
• Place about 1 1/2 teaspoon of the butter-crumb mixture at the bottom of each cupcake case. 
• Make sure you flatten out the crumbs for an even base.
• Bake in a preheated oven(170 C) for 5 minutes.
• Divide the chopped strawberries between the paper cases. Don't put too many strawberries in the cupcakes as it'll get soggy due to the amount of water in strawberries.
• Pour the mixture into the paper case about 2/3 full
• Bake in a preheated oven (170 Celcius) for 20- 25 minutes.You can check by inserting a skewer in the centre.It should come out clean.
• After removing the cupcakes from the oven, leave them to cool slightly.Then remove the cupcakes from the pan to let them cool completely on a wire rack.

For the Cream Cheese Frosting ( Enough for 24 cupcakes)

500g/4 cups of icing sugar, sifted ( Reduce the icing sugar if you find it too sweet) *saya cuma guna half dr resepi, itupon dah manis
100g/6 tablespoons of unsalted butter
250g of cream cheese, cold

• Beat the icing sugar and butter on medium speed until the mixture combines and is well-mixed.
• Add cream cheese all at once and beat until well mixed.Turn the mixer to a medium-high speed/
• Beat the frosting until it is light and fluffy for about 5 minutes.
• DO NOT OVERBEAT! As this will make the frosting to become runny.
• When the cupcakes are cold, spoon the cream cheese frosting on top and decorate as you wish.I sprinkled the top with the digestive biscuit crumbs
