Description

Delightful cupcakes bursting with tropical flavors of mango and strawberry, perfect for summer occasions.


Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 ½ tsp baking powder
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • ½ cup unsalted butter (softened)
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • ½ cup milk
  • ¼ cup mango purée (fresh or canned)
  • ¼ cup strawberry jam (for filling)


Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with cupcake liners.
  2. Whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt in a bowl.
  3. Cream the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy in another bowl.
  4. Beat in the eggs and vanilla extract. Mix in the milk and mango purée until well combined.
  5. Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture until just combined.
  6. Fill the cupcake liners three-quarters full with the batter.
  7. Bake for 18–20 minutes, until the cupcakes are golden and set. Let them cool completely.
  8. Fill each cupcake center with strawberry jam using a piping bag or small knife.

Notes

For best results, use fresh mango and strawberries for the purées. Allow cupcakes to cool completely before filling.
