Step-by-Step Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with vibrant cupcake liners.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together 1.5 cups of all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons of baking powder, and a pinch of salt. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, beat together 0.5 cups of softened unsalted butter and 1 cup of granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-5 minutes.
- Add 2 eggs and 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract, then mix in 0.5 cups of milk and 0.5 cups of mango purée until combined.
- Gradually fold in the dry ingredients until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
- Scoop the batter into the cupcake liners, filling them ¾ full, and bake for 18-20 minutes.
- Once baked, cool the cupcakes and fill each with strawberry jam using a pastry bag.
- For the frosting, beat 0.5 cups of softened butter, gradually add 2 cups of powdered sugar, then mix in 2 tablespoons of heavy cream and 1 teaspoon of vanilla until fluffy.
- Divide the frosting into three bowls, mixing mango purée in one and strawberry purée in another for color.
- Pipe the three colors of frosting onto each cupcake to create a sunset swirl.
