Cupcake Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with vibrant cupcake liners.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 and ¾ cups of all-purpose flour, 1 tablespoon of baking powder, and ½ teaspoon of salt until well combined.
  3. In another bowl, cream together ½ cup of softened butter and 1 cup of granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-5 minutes.
  4. Beat in 2 large eggs one at a time, followed by 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, ½ cup of milk, and ½ cup of mango purée.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, folding gently.
  6. Spoon the batter into the prepared cupcake liners, filling each about ¾ full.
  7. Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
  8. Once baked, cool completely and fill each cupcake with a dollop of strawberry jam.
  9. Beat together ½ cup of softened butter and 3 cups of powdered sugar until creamy.
  10. Color the frosting by dividing into three bowls adding ¼ cup of mango purée and strawberry purée respectively.
  11. Using a piping bag, pipe the frosting onto each cupcake in a swirling pattern.
  12. Garnish with slices of fresh fruit or a sprig of mint before serving.
