Scale
- 2 eggs
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 cup olive oil
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup full cream milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla essence
- 150 grams homemade or store-bought strawberry yogurt
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- Fresh strawberries for garnish (optional)
- Sprinkles for topping (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Line a muffin tin with cupcake liners.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the olive oil and brown sugar until the sugar is dissolved and the mixture is smooth.
- Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition until fully incorporated.
- Mix in the vanilla essence and strawberry yogurt until combined.
- In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
- Divide the batter evenly among the prepared cupcake liners, filling each about two-thirds full.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a cupcake comes out clean.
- Allow the cupcakes to cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once cooled, garnish with fresh strawberries and sprinkles if desired before serving.
Notes
For best results, use fresh strawberries for garnish. These cupcakes can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. Substitute plain yogurt if strawberry yogurt is unavailable, and add a few drops of strawberry extract for flavor. Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature before mixing for a smoother batter.
