Bake the cupcakes: Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cupcake liners. Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let the cupcakes cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Make the strawberry buttercream: In a large bowl, beat the softened butter until smooth. Add the pureed strawberries and vanilla extract, then gradually beat in the powdered sugar until the buttercream reaches your desired consistency. You may need to add more powdered sugar depending on how juicy the strawberries are.
Frost and serve: Once the cupcakes are completely cooled, frost them with the strawberry buttercream. Garnish each cupcake with a fresh strawberry, if desired, and serve!
