For an extra burst of strawberry flavor, consider adding finely diced fresh strawberries to the cupcake batter. Ensure your butter is properly softened to achieve a light and fluffy batter. Do not overbake the cupcakes, as they can become dry. Keep a close eye on them during the last few minutes of baking. The ganache should be warm but not too hot when frosting the cupcakes to prevent it from running off. Store frosted cupcakes in an airtight container in the refrigerator to keep the ganache firm.
