1/2 cup sour cream, room temperature 🥛

Instructions
1️⃣ Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (177°C). Line a 12-cup muffin pan with cupcake liners.
2️⃣ Prepare the Batter:
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
In a separate bowl, combine the melted butter, milk, sour cream, eggs, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth.
Gradually pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the cupcakes tender.
Fold in the chopped strawberries and white chocolate chips.
3️⃣ Bake the Cupcakes:
Spoon the batter into the cupcake liners, filling each about two-thirds full.
Bake for 20-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Let the cupcakes cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
4️⃣ Make the Frosting:
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter until creamy and smooth.
Gradually add the powdered sugar, heavy cream, vanilla extract, and salt. Beat on low speed until combined, then whip on high speed for about 2 minutes until light and fluffy.
5️⃣ Decorate:
Once the cupcakes are completely cool, frost them generously with the buttercream.
Top each cupcake with additional chopped strawberries and white chocolate chips for garnish.
