Instructions

Notes
- Ensure strawberries are patted dry before dicing to prevent excess moisture in cupcakes and maintain perfect texture.
- Melt white chocolate slowly using double boiler method for smooth, even incorporation without burning.
- Room temperature ingredients help create lighter, more uniform cupcake crumb and enhance overall mixing process.
- For gluten-free version, substitute all-purpose flour with almond or gluten-free flour blend and add xanthan gum for better structure.
