Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Line your cupcake pans with paper liners without greasing them.
  3. Sift together the cake flour and half a cup of sugar.
  4. Whip the egg whites with a pinch of salt and cream of tartar until soft peaks form (3-5 minutes).
  5. Gradually add the remaining sugar, vanilla seeds, and almond extract while continuing to beat until stiff peaks form (3-5 minutes).
  6. Gently fold the flour mixture into the whipped egg whites until just incorporated.
  7. Fill the cupcake liners about three-quarters full with the batter.
  8. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-30 minutes until golden brown and springs back when touched.
  9. Let the cupcakes cool in the pans for about 10 minutes before removing them to a cooling rack.
  10. In a saucepan, combine fresh strawberries and bourbon over medium heat and simmer for 5-7 minutes.
  11. Add turbinado sugar and cook until the sauce thickens and becomes syrupy.
  12. Drizzle the strawberry bourbon sauce over each cupcake and top with additional fresh strawberries.

Notes

Use clean, grease-free bowls for whipping egg whites. Gentle folding is crucial to maintain airy texture. Avoid peeking in the oven for the first 20 minutes.
