Equipment

  • muffin tin
  • mixing bowls
  • whisk
  • piping bag
  • oven

Ingredients
  

  • 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1.5 teaspoon baking powder
  • 0.25 teaspoon salt
  • 0.5 cup unsalted butter (softened)
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 0.5 cup milk
  • 0.25 cup mango purée fresh or canned
  • 0.25 cup strawberry jam for filling
  • 1 cup unsalted butter (for frosting, softened)
  • 3 cups powdered sugar
  • 2 tablespoon heavy cream or milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (for frosting)
  • 2 tablespoon mango purée (for frosting)
  • 2 tablespoon strawberry purée (for frosting)

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a muffin tin with cupcake liners.
  • In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.
  • In another bowl, cream the softened butter and sugar until it’s light and fluffy.
  • Beat in the eggs and add vanilla. Then mix in milk and mango purée.
  • Gradually add the dry ingredients until just combined.
  • Fill the cupcake liners about three-quarters full. Bake for 18–20 minutes until golden and set. Let them cool completely.
  • Once cooled, use a piping bag or small knife to fill the center of each cupcake with strawberry jam.
  • Beat the butter until creamy, then gradually mix in powdered sugar.
  • Add vanilla and heavy cream, mixing until smooth and fluffy.
  • Divide the frosting into three bowls, add mango purée to one and strawberry purée to another, leaving one plain.
  • Place each color side by side in a piping bag to create a 'sunset swirl.'
  • Pipe the frosting onto the cupcakes in beautiful swirls.
  • Optional: Garnish with a small slice of strawberry or mango for added flair.
