 In a separate bowl sift the flour and the baking powder with a pinch of salt

Add the sifted dry ingredients to the wet and mix (few folds just to get all ingredients together) Take care not to over mix. Add the chopped strawberries with the last fold



Fill ¾ of the paper (because it is going to rise a little in the oven)

Bake them in the preheated oven for about 20 min or until they are ready, this step depends on the thickness of your cupcakes and your oven so stick a wooden toothpick to check if they are ready.
