Preheat the oven to 350° and line a muffin tin with parchment cups. Or grease the muffin tin.
In a large bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer, beat the oil and the sugar together. Add in the eggs and the vanilla and beat on medium speed for one minute.
Now add in the milk and slowly beat until just combined.
Add in the flour, baking powder and salt and mix until the batter is just combined.
Scoop the batter evenly into the muffin tin and bake at 350° for 18-20 minutes.
White Chocolate Strawberry Frosting
In a double boiler or the microwave, melt the chocolate chips. Don't overheat otherwise they will burn. The chocolate should be silky and runny.
Let the chocolate cool until room temperature before mixing with the butter. You don't want the chocolate to melt the butter.
Beat the butter and the white chocolate until well combined and then add in the vanilla and strawberry jam. Once these are well combined, slowly add in the icing sugar 1/2 a cup at a time. Do this until all the icing sugar has been mixed in.
If the frosting seems a bit too thick, add in a tablespoon of milk to thin it out.
Once the cupcakes are completely cooled, you can frost the cupcakes. If adding sprinkles, do this right away before the frosting dries.
Notes
To make these cupcakes gluten free, use gluten free all purpose flour. If you don't have strawberry jam, and fruit jam will work!
