INSTRUCTIONS
- Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a cupcake tin with muffin liners, or grease an 8×8 cake pan.
- In a bowl, combine egg, egg yolk, buttermilk, vanilla, and 1/2 tsp lemon zest. Mix lightly.
- In a separate bowl, combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix well.
- In a large bowl, combine butter and brown sugar. Mix on medium speed until fully combined.
- Slowly add the buttermilk mixture to the butter and brown sugar, using an electric mixer to fully combine.
- With the electric mixer on low speed, gradually incorporate the flour mixture into the large bowl, adding it in thirds.
- Once completely combined, stir in white chocolate chips and either sliced strawberries or 3 tsp lemon zest (depending on which version you are creating).

- Bake for 20 minutes, or until the cakes are golden brown and pass the toothpick test.
