<h3>Directions:</h3>

<b>Prepare the Batter:</b>

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 12-cup muffin pan with cupcake liners.

In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt, whisking until blended.

In a separate large bowl, cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

Incorporate the eggs individually, mixing thoroughly after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.

<b>Incorporate the Berries:</b>

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with the milk, mixing just until combined.

Gently fold in the fresh berries, ensuring they are evenly distributed without overmixing.

<b>Prepare the Cupcakes:</b>

Spoon the batter into the cupcake liners, filling each to about two-thirds capacity.

Place them in the oven and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

After baking, allow the cupcakes to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before moving them to a wire rack to cool completely.

<b>Make the Whipped Cream Topping:</b>

In a chilled bowl, beat the heavy cream with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until soft peaks form.

Once the cupcakes are completely cooled, pipe or spread the whipped cream on top of each cupcake.

Top each frosted cupcake with a few fresh berries for a beautiful, flavorful finish.

<b>Serve and Enjoy:</b>

Serve immediately to enjoy the freshness of the berries and whipped cream. These cupcakes are a perfect addition to any dessert table, picnic, or family gathering.
