3 eggs

1 cup whole milk

½ cup vegetable oil

3 large strawberries

CUPCAKES

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Prepare 24 cupcake liners in muffin tins. Mix all ingredients until well blended less the Big Red. Add Big Red slowly until everything is combined. Fill each cupcake liner 2/3 full with the batter. Bake for 12-15 minutes. Remove from muffin tins and allow to cool completely.

ICING

Slice and mash strawberries in to puree or blend in food processor. Cream butter with mixer until light and fluffy. Add vanilla and mix well. Add 3 cups powdered sugar half a cup at a time interchanging with Big Red until blended completely. Add strawberries and mix well. If the frosting is too runny add additional sugar half a cup at a time until desired consistency is reached. Pipe or spread frosting on cooled cupcakes.
