Strawberry cupcakes are yummy any time of year, but especially in the summer when strawberries are at the peak of flavor. I'm always up for a good cupcake recipe (especially strawberry!), so when I can get one from a professional, I know it's gonna be good! These cupcakes are out of this world good, so you should try them. Especially right now. When strawberries are fresh at the market. Yum!

• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 4 ounces unsalted butter
• 1 cup sugar
• 1 large egg
• 2 egg whites
