Strawberry Mango Cupcakes (Print Version)

Moist mango cupcakes topped with strawberry frosting - a delightful tropical treat perfect for summer gatherings and special occasions.

# Ingredients:

→ Mango Cupcakes

01 - 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
02 - 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
03 - 1/4 teaspoon salt
04 - 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
05 - 3/4 cup granulated sugar
06 - 2 large eggs
07 - 1/2 cup mango puree (fresh or canned)
08 - 1/4 cup milk
09 - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

→ Strawberry Frosting

10 - 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
11 - 3 cups powdered sugar
12 - 1/4 cup fresh strawberries, pureed
13 - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
14 - Fresh strawberry slices or mango pieces (optional, for garnish)

# Steps to Follow:

01 - Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and line a cupcake pan with paper liners. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. In a large mixing bowl, cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Add the mango puree, milk, and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined. Gradually fold in the dry ingredients until just incorporated.
02 - 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. Cool the cupcakes completely on a wire rack before frosting.
03 - In a large bowl, beat the softened butter until creamy. Gradually add powdered sugar, beating until smooth. Mix in the strawberry puree and vanilla extract until fully incorporated. Adjust the consistency by adding more powdered sugar if it’s too thin, or additional puree or milk if it’s too thick.
04 - Once the cupcakes have cooled completely, pipe or spread the strawberry frosting over each cupcake. Garnish with fresh strawberry slices or pieces of mango if desired.

# Additional Notes:

01 - For a stronger mango flavor, a few drops of mango extract can be added to the batter.
02 - If fresh strawberries are unavailable, substitute with strawberry jam for the frosting.
