Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 stick unsalted butter softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 3/4 cup milk
  • 2 1/4 cups diced strawberries
  • 1 tbsp lemon zest

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F. Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners; spray the liners and the pan with non-stick cooking spray.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 cups of the flour, the baking powder and salt.
  3. In the bowl of an electric mixer, beat the butter and granulated sugar for about 2 minutes.
  4. Add the eggs one at a time, scraping down the sides of the bowl and beating well after each addition.
  5. Beat in the vanilla extract.
  6. With the mixer on low, add the flour mixture alternating with the milk and ending with the flour. (flour, milk, flour, milk, flour)
  7. Mix in the strawberries and lemon zest. Fold the berries in until evenly distributed. Do not overmix.
  8. Scoop the batter into the prepared muffin tin; they will be very full. You can top them with additional berries and a sprinkle of sugar.
  9. Bake for about 15-20 minutes, until lightly golden and a cake tester comes out clean.
