Strawberry yogurt cupcake with strawberry buttercream

Selam everybody.... Merhaba from Turkey.

What I like about yogurt cake is very simple and quick to make. Like this fresh strawberry yogurt cupcake I made today. The cake was so fresh with fresh strawberry chunk inside yet fluffy and moist cake.

Every evening after dinner we-like other Turkish family- always have our Turkish tea time. For me drinking tea without any snack along with it, is just not like my style, so these strawberry cupcake are perfect for our tea time cake in front of TV.

Also if you are coffee lover, you should make them also. Cause these delish cupcake it's just perfect for afternoon coffee. Enjoy it with your favorite coffee, on your very comfortable couch with unfinished fave book. ^,^

For the complete beautiful touch I made fresh strawberry butter cream icing for garnish and enrich this tasteful strawberry yogurt cupcake.
Look at them with that high cone ice cream-look alike..aren't they just adorable? Almost too cute to eat.... ALMOST. 😍

But if you want to skip the butter cream it's okay, replace it with some strawberry or lemon icing glaze. They are still tasty as should be.
