Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
  • Pinch of salt
  • ½ cup unsalted butter
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ¾ cup mango puree
  • ½ cup strawberry puree
  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • 1–2 tablespoons milk

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a cupcake tin with paper liners.
  2. In a large bowl, combine 1 ½ cups of all-purpose flour, 1 cup of granulated sugar, 1 ½ teaspoons of baking powder, and a pinch of salt. Whisk them together until well combined.
  3. In another bowl, beat ½ cup of unsalted butter until creamy. Add 2 eggs and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, mixing until smooth.
  4. Stir in ¾ cup of mango puree to the butter mixture, blending well.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix!
  6. Gently fold in ½ cup of strawberry puree, creating a lovely marbled effect in the batter.
  7. Spoon the batter into your cupcake liners, filling each about two-thirds full.
  8. Place the tin in the oven and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  9. Once baked, allow the cupcakes to cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  10. While the cupcakes cool, beat together ½ cup of unsalted butter, 2 cups of powdered sugar, and 1-2 tablespoons of milk until creamy. Add a splash of mango puree for added flavor if you like!
  11. Once the cupcakes are completely cooled, generously frost them with your mango frosting and top with fresh strawberry slices for that sunset effect.

Keywords: Ensure your eggs and butter are at room temperature for a smoother batter. Don’t overmix to keep cupcakes light and fluffy. Fresh fruits yield the best flavor.
