I know how to make vanilla ones do I just add blended strawberries to the mix? or should I juice the strawberries?
If you put fresh strawberries in cake batter, the milk needs to be reduced accordingly. This was probably tested:

Thank you. Do people still sift flour? Why should I not skip this step?
The amount of flour in a cup will vary a lot depending on how fluffy or packed it is. Sifting makes it more consistent. If you don’t have a sifter, stir it up to get it fluffy and avoid compacting it while measuring.
That’s why professional bakers use weight instead of volume.
I have my mother’s sifter but one can also use a sieve.
That scale is one of the best kitchen things we’ve ever bought.
Even if you weight your flour you should still sift. you are adding a secret ingredient -air to help keep the cupcakes light. Of course you don’t have to but it is a point of refinement

I’ve been itching to make this - or find someone to make it for me:
There might be something in the comments about using the batter in cupcakes, or maybe one of the bakers here could guide you on that?

Did you ever make it? I’m thinking about making it for my sister for mother’s day. I tried the one at my2cents and it was delicious!
