Instructions
How to Melt the White Chocolate:
In a medium microwave safe bowl, heat chocolate in 30 second increments stirring between each one at 50% power. The chocolate should be melted within 1 minute and 30 seconds. Stir until creamy and set aside.
For the Strawberry Cupcakes:
Preheat oven to 350°. Line cupcake tins with 36 paper liners and set aside.
Blend strawberries in a blender, food processor or immersion hand blender (you should have 1/2 cup of strawberry puree).
In a large mixing bowl add the butter. Beat until creamy (about 3 minutes). Add eggs, one at a time, beating just until yellow disappears after each addition. Add strawberry puree and vanilla, beating just until blended.
In a medium bowl whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt and gelatin; gradually add to the butter mixture alternately with the milk, beginning and ending with the flour mixture, beating at low speed just until blended.
Using a large cookie scoop or ice cream scoop fill each cup to three-fourths full. Bake 18 to 20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Cool cupcakes in the pan on a cooling rack 10 minutes. Remove cupcakes from pan and continue to cool on rack until completely cool. Spread or pipe on frosting and if desired add sprinkles. Store the cupcakes in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
