Strawberry Cupcakes

Another not-so-great picture of a delightful treat. I blame the pictures on the lighting in my parents' kitchen. Not enough windows near the table. Like I really know. Anyway, this recipe came from this fun blog.
If you are a fan of cjane or NieNie, then you have probably seen this fun blog before.
Cupcake:
16 oz. strawberries, destemmed
4 eggs
1 3/4 cups sugar
1/2 butter
1 tsp. vanilla
1 1/2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
3 cups flour
*Place first four ingredients in blender. Blend until fully pureed. Pour into a large bowl and mix in remaining ingredients. Spoon into cupcake wrappers. Bake at 325 for 20 minutes or until tops spring back when lightly touched. Allow to cool before frosting.
Frosting:
3/4 cups fresh strawberries
1/2 cup butter, softened
1 tsp. vanilla
2 lb. powdered sugar
*Mash up the strawberries in a bowl. Add remaining ingredients and mix well with hand mixer.
