- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with cupcake liners.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- In a large bowl, beat butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
- Mix in vanilla extract.
- Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients in three parts, alternating with sour cream, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
- Incorporate mashed bananas and chopped strawberries.
- Divide the batter evenly among the cupcake liners, filling each about 2/3 full.
- Bake for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow cupcakes to cool completely.
