2 cups sieved plain flour
1 can of condensed milk
1 tsp baking soda
1 & 1/4 tsp of baking powder
2 tbsp of curd
3/4 cup melted butter
1/2 cup icing sugar (or as per your taste)
3 tbsp of coca powder
1 cup finely chopped fresh strawberries

Method

In a mixing bowl mix all the liquid ingredients (butter, curd, condensed milk,essence) and sugar.
Tip: mix these with the help of a whisker or egg beater to fill incorporate some air.

In another bowl sift and mix all the dry ingredients (baking powder, plain flour, baking soda, coca powder).

Slowly add the dry mixture into the liquid mixture and keep stirring it with a whisker continuously.

The consistency of the batter should not be runny rather be slow drop down from the spoon consistency ( not too thin nor too thick, medium consistency).

Now add the fresh strawberries and slowly stir the all the ingredients once.

Add the batter into the cupcake moulds just 3/4 of the mould should be filled not till the top as the batter needs some space to raise.

 Bake the cupcakes in 10 mins preheated oven (@ 200 c) for 20 - 25 mins at 180 c. 20- 25 as depending upon the oven.

Insert a toothpick and check if it comes out clean from the cupcake, it means they are ready. Remove the cupcakes and serve hot and fresh with some icing sugar sugar sprinkled on top.

Garnishing tip: you can also serve with buttercream or creamcheese icing on top.
