Preheat oven to 180°C. Line 24 muffin tins with cupcake papers.
Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy.
Add the egg and vanilla extract and beat well.
In a separate bowl, sift together the cake flour, salt and baking powder.
Add the flour mixture to creamed mixture, alternating with the pureed strawberries.
Fill cupcake liners about ¾ full with mixture and bake for 15-17 minutes until lightly golden brown.
Allow to cool in the tin for 15 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack.
