A delightful treat that combines the tropical flavors of mango and strawberry in a moist cupcake topped with a creamy strawberry frosting.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup mango puree (fresh or canned)
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened (for frosting)
  • 3 cups powdered sugar
  • 1/4 cup fresh strawberries, pureed
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract (for frosting)
  • Fresh strawberry slices or mango pieces (for garnish, optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a cupcake pan with paper liners.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
  4. Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
  5. Stir in the mango puree, milk, and vanilla extract until well combined.
  6. Gradually add the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  7. Divide the batter evenly among the cupcake liners, filling each about 2/3 full.
  8. Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a cupcake comes out clean.
  9. Allow the cupcakes to cool completely on a wire rack before frosting.
  10. In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter until creamy for the frosting.
  11. Gradually add the powdered sugar, beating until smooth.
  12. Mix in the strawberry puree and vanilla extract until well combined.
  13. If the frosting is too thin, add a bit more powdered sugar; if it’s too thick, add a bit more puree or milk to reach your desired consistency.
  14. Once the cupcakes are completely cool, pipe or spread the strawberry frosting onto each one.
  15. Garnish with fresh strawberry slices or mango pieces, if desired.

Notes

  • Ensure the butter is softened for both the cupcakes and frosting for better mixing.
  • For a stronger mango flavor, use fresh mango puree.
  • Store cupcakes in an airtight container to maintain freshness.
