STRAWBERRY CUP CAKE

I always wanted to bake a strawberry cake but never got a chance since the strawberry as it is will be finished up in no time. Its a family favourite. But now that its in season , we get 3-4 boxes of strawberries every week. With that much quantity, there is 0 complains anymore. After my lil one and hubby are done eating there is still plenty left for me to bake. This is a very simple recipe that results in a super moist and soft cake. Its sweet as it is so i didnt use any frosting.But you can always use your favorite frosting.
