Creating Strawberry Filled Cupcakes can be simple if you follow these steps closely:

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a cupcake pan with paper liners.
2. Prepare Strawberries: In a bowl, mix the chopped strawberries with 2 tablespoons of sugar. Set aside to allow the strawberries to release their juices.
3. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
4. Cream Butter and Sugar: In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
5. Add Eggs and Vanilla: Beat in the eggs, one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract. Mix until well combined.
6. Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with the milk. Begin and end with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
7. Fill Cupcake Liners: Pour the batter into each cupcake liner, filling them about two-thirds full.
8. Bake: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
9. Cool the Cupcakes: Once baked, remove the cupcakes from the oven and allow them to cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then, transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
10. Create Filling: Once the cupcakes are cool, use a small knife or cupcake corer to remove a small portion from the center of each cupcake, creating a cavity for the filling.
11. Fill with Strawberries: Spoon some of the macerated strawberries into each cupcake to fill the cavity.
12. Frost the Cupcakes: Top each filled cupcake with your choice of frosting. Use a piping bag for a decorative touch if desired.

With these steps, your Strawberry Filled Cupcakes will be ready to dazzle!
