Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups (180g) all-purpose flour, sifted
  • 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup (115g) unsalted butter, softened
  • ¾ cup (150g) granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • ½ cup (120ml) whole milk, room temperature
  • ¼ cup (60ml) champagne or sparkling wine (dry or semi-dry)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ cup fresh strawberries, finely chopped
  • 1 cup (230g) unsalted butter, softened (for frosting)
  • 3 to 3 ½ cups (360-420g) powdered sugar, sifted
  • 1 to 1 ½ teaspoons rosewater
  • 1 to 2 tablespoons (15-30ml) champagne (for frosting)
  • Pink food coloring (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 12-cup cupcake pan with paper liners.
  2. In a medium bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
  3. Using an electric mixer, beat the softened butter and granulated sugar on medium speed until pale and fluffy, about 3 to 4 minutes.
  4. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
  5. Mix in vanilla extract and champagne until combined.
  6. With the mixer on low, alternately add the sifted dry ingredients in three additions and milk in two additions, starting and ending with dry ingredients. Mix just until combined.
  7. Gently fold in the chopped strawberries with a rubber spatula.
  8. Fill cupcake liners about 2/3 full with batter.
  9. Bake for 18-22 minutes until golden and a toothpick inserted comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
  10. Cool cupcakes in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  11. For the frosting, beat softened butter until creamy, gradually add powdered sugar, then mix in rosewater and champagne a little at a time until smooth and pipeable. Add pink food coloring if desired.
  12. Pipe the frosting onto each cupcake using a piping bag fitted with a large star tip, creating a rose swirl.
  13. Optionally, garnish with a small fresh strawberry slice or edible rose petal.

Notes

Use room temperature ingredients for best results. Do not overmix batter after adding flour to keep cupcakes light. Adjust rosewater carefully to avoid soapy taste. Let cupcakes cool completely before frosting to prevent melting. Frosting consistency can be adjusted with powdered sugar or champagne. Frozen strawberries can be used if fresh are unavailable. For vegan or gluten-free versions, substitute ingredients accordingly.
