Directions:

1. Preheat and Prepare the Pan:
   Preheat the oven to 350°F (177°C). Line a 12-cup muffin pan with cupcake liners.
2. Mix Dry Ingredients:
   In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
3. Mix Wet Ingredients:
   In another bowl, mix together the melted butter, milk, sour cream, eggs, and vanilla extract until fully combined.
4. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients:
   Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Gently fold in the white chocolate chips and chopped strawberries.
5. Fill the Cupcake Liners:
   Divide the batter evenly among the 12 cupcake liners, filling each about 2/3 full.
6. Bake:
   Bake for 20-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
7. Cool the Cupcakes:
   Allow the cupcakes to cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely before frosting.
8. Prepare the Frosting:
   Beat the butter on high speed until creamy. Add the powdered sugar, heavy cream, vanilla extract, and salt. Beat on low for 30 seconds, then increase to high speed and beat for 2 minutes until smooth and fluffy.
