Ingredients

Scale

1 cup all-purpose flour
1.5 tsp baking powder
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 cup unsalted butter (vegan alternative)
1/2 cup whole milk (coconut milk for vegan)
2 large eggs
6 oz strawberries, sliced
2 tbsp whipped cream (per serving)

Instructions

Whisk flour, baking powder, and 1/3 cup sugar in a bowl
Beat butter and remaining sugar in a stand mixer until fluffy

Whisk eggs into the batter until fully incorporated
Line 12 silicone cup molds with paper liners (or use silicone molds directly)
Spoon 1 tbsp batter into each liner

Use 92% dark chocolate for rich glaze (optional)
Macadamia nuts add unexpected depth of flavor
