Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare your cupcake pans without greasing them.
  2. Sift together the cake flour and half of the sugar twice, then set aside.
  3. In a clean mixing bowl, whip the egg whites until frothy, then add salt and cream of tartar.
  4. Gradually add the remaining sugar while whipping until stiff peaks form.
  5. Gently fold the sifted flour and sugar mixture into the egg white mixture.
  6. Pour the batter into the cupcake pans, filling them about three-quarters full and bake for 15 to 30 minutes.
  7. Cool the cupcakes upside down in the pans to maintain their airy texture.
  8. Prepare the strawberry sauce by simmering strawberries, bourbon, and turbinado sugar for 10 to 15 minutes.
  9. Drizzle the sauce over muffins and optionally garnish with fresh strawberries before serving.
