Frequently Asked Questions
I kept the recipe simple and used just the basics to make the microwave strawberry cupcakes, but if you really want to go the extra mile, you could choose to add some lemon zest into the cupcake batter too, to add some extra brightness and flavor to them. 
Your leftover microwave strawberry cupcakes can be stored for up to a day in the refrigerator.
Remember to cover the mug with some cling wrap to keep the cupcake nice and moist. You can then set it out and get it to room temperature before you enjoy it. 
Tips & Tricks to Make the 2 Minute Strawberry Cupcake
Ready to make this easy strawberry cupcake? Here are some tips and tricks you might want to take note of.
- Remember to use good quality, fresh baking soda for the recipe. The quality of the leavening agent plays a key role in determining how soft and fluffy the cake will turn out.
- Avoid over mixing the batter. This will cause the cake to become dense.
- Cut the strawberries into small chunks. This will cause them to mix within the cupcake batter and also add that delicious sweet and tart juiciness to it.
- I used whole wheat flour to make the cupcakes healthy, but you could also choose to use regular flour if you want to.
- Honey worked as a natural sweetener here, but you could also stick to using plain white sugar instead if you want to.
- Make sure you fill the batter only until about half of the cup, leaving the other half of the space for the cake to rise. Adding too much batter will cause the cake to overflow as it is cooked.
