Instructions (Cupcakes):
- Preheat the oven to 350°F and line two muffin pans with 18 cupcake liners. Set pans aside.
- In a small bowl, add flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt. Stir to combine and set aside.
- Add 8 tablespoons softened Kerrygold Unsalted Butter and granulated sugar to a medium bowl; cream together for 2 minutes. Add egg and beat to combine. Add milk, lemon juice and lemon zest and combine. Stir in flour mixture just until incorporated.
- Evenly divide cupcake batter among cupcake liners in the prepared pans, filling each well about ¾ full. Bake in a preheated oven for 20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center of the cupcakes comes out clean. Remove from the oven and cool completely.
Instructions (Frosting):
- Place strawberries in the jar of a blender and process until smooth. Set aside (you will have extra strawberry puree that can be saved for later).
- In a large bowl, add softened Kerrygold Unsalted Butter and ¼ cup of strawberry puree and mix until smooth.
- Add powdered sugar one cup at a time and mix until fully combined.
- Pipe frosting on cooled cupcakes and serve. Garnish with fresh strawberry slices, if desired.
