Vanilla Cupcakes with Strawberries and Cream
"Vanilla cupcakes make a nice substitute for the traditional sponge cake that is usually served with strawberry shortcake. This can be made into a large 6 cup muffin pan or a regular 12 cup cupcake pan. The time and temperature will vary depending on what size of pan you use.(12 cupcakes: adjust the temperature to 350 degrees and bake for approx. 20 minutes). The amount of strawberries and whipped cream to use in this recipe is just an estimate. Use as much or as little as you wish. Sometimes I like to grate a little dark chocolate over the top for just a little extra yum!"
