Strawberry Cupcakes with Low Fat Cream Cheese Frosting

Preheat oven to 350ºF and line cupcake pan with liners. Place strawberries in a food processor and process until pureed.

In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt; set aside. In a small bowl, mix together milk, vanilla, and strawberry puree.

In a Kitchen Aid mixer, cream butter on medium-high speed, until light and fluffy. Gradually add sugar and continue to beat until well-combined and fluffy. Reduce the mixer speed to medium and slowly add egg and egg whites until just blended.

With the mixer on low, slowly add half the flour mixture; mix until just blended. Add the milk mixture; mix until just blended. Slowly add the remaining flour mixture.

Place in cupcake pans and bake for 22 minutes. Wait to cool then frost!

For the frosting, mix cream cheese and vanilla together. Slowly add powdered sugar.

Once cupcakes have cooled, spread frosting on and garnish with a fresh strawberry!
