Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare your cupcake pans with liners, leaving them ungreased.
  2. Sift the cake flour and ½ cup of sugar together twice, and set aside.
  3. Whip the egg whites in a large mixing bowl until foamy, then add salt and cream of tartar until soft peaks form.
  4. Gradually mix in remaining sugar until stiff, glossy peaks form.
  5. Fold the sifted flour mixture into the whipped egg whites carefully.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared cupcake pans, filling each about three-quarters full, and bake for 15-20 minutes.
  7. Allow the cupcakes to cool in the pans for about 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.
  8. Prepare the bourbon strawberry sauce by simmering fresh strawberries and bourbon in a saucepan for about 5-7 minutes.
  9. Stir in sugar to taste and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to thicken the sauce.
  10. Drizzle the sauce over the cooled cupcakes and serve with additional fresh strawberries.
