Shortbread Cupcakes

Cupcakes:

ingredients

  • 1 ½ cup fresh-milled soft white flour
  • 2 tablespoons arrowroot powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon of salt
  • ½ cup sugar (I used coconut sugar)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ¼ cup avocado oil
  • ¼ cup butter, melted
  • ½ cup raw milk
  • ½ cup diced strawberries (optional)
  • 8 strawberry halves, for serving

directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a 12-cup standard muffin tin with paper liners; set aside.
  2. In a large bowl, combine flour, arrowroot, baking powder and salt.
  3. In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with paddle attachment, beat sugar, eggs and vanilla on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes. Beat in avocado oil and butter until well combined. With mixer on low speed, add dry ingredients and milk alternately in 3 parts. Add strawberries, if using, and gently toss to combine.
  4. Scoop the batter evenly into the muffin tray. Place into oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a tester inserted in center comes out clean. Remove from oven and cool completely on a wire rack before frosting.

Buttercream:

ingredients

  • ¾ cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
  • 2 tablespoons heavy cream
  • 1 ½ cups confectioners’ sugar

directions

  1. In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat butter until light and fluffy. With the mixer on low speed, gradually add heavy cream and confectioners’ sugar, beating just until incorporated. Increase speed to medium high and beat until frosting is light and fluffy, approximately 1-2 minutes.
  2. Use a small offset spatula or a pastry bag fitted with a decorative tip to frost cupcakes, garnished with strawberry half, if desired.
