INSTRUCTIONS
Preheat oven to 350F or 180C. Line muffin tin with cupcake liners. Keep it aside.
In a bowl sieve the dry ingredients. Whisk lightly using a wired whisk.
Add in wet ingredients and stir well with a wooden or rubber spatula just until combined. Do not overmix.
Use an Ice Cream Scoop to scoop out some portion of the cupcake batter. Place them in the cupcake liner up to 3/4 of the cavity. Bake for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Allow them to cool down completely before frosting.
Make Strawberry Cream Cheese Frosting. In a bowl combine Cream Cheese and butter. Whisk until it is light and fluffy. Add in Strawberry Extract, Pink Gel Food Color, and Granulated Sugar. Whisk well until you see stiff peaks. Take your favorite nozzle. Put it in a piping bag. Pour your Strawberry Cream Cheese Frosting in the piping bag. Snip the edge and frost the cupcakes as per your choice.

Notes
Make Ahead Instructions: You can bake the Cupcakes 1 day ahead and keep the frosting tightly wrapped in the refrigerator. You can thaw it out before serving and then frost the cupcakes right before serving.
Make Homemade Buttermilk: Make Buttermilk at home by combining 1/2 Tablespoon Lemon Juice with 1/2 Cup Milk. Or else, combine 1/2 Tablespoon White Vinegar with 1/2 Cup Milk. Stir lightly. Let it sit at room temperature and then use it in your recipe.
Use Fresh Strawberries for Strawberry Cream Cheese frosting: Instead of Pink Food Color, feel free to use Fresh Strawberries. Chop Strawberries and add them to a saucepan over medium heat with sugar and few splashes of water. Stir frequently so that it doesn't burn. Allow it to thicken and come to a jam-like consistency. This takes about 20-30 minutes.
