Equipment

  • Muffin tin
  • mixing bowls
  • whisk
  • piping bag
  • decorative tip

Ingredients
  

Cupcake Batter

  • 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1.5 teaspoon baking powder
  • 0.25 teaspoon salt
  • 0.5 cups unsalted butter softened
  • 1 cups granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 0.5 cups milk
  • 0.25 cups mango purée fresh or canned

Filling

  • 0.25 cups strawberry jam

Frosting

  • 1 cups unsalted butter softened
  • 3 cups powdered sugar
  • 2 tablespoon heavy cream or milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoon mango purée
  • 2 tablespoon strawberry purée

Instructions
 

Baking

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with cupcake liners to prepare for baking.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
  • In a separate larger bowl, cream the softened butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy.
  • Beat in the eggs one at a time along with the vanilla extract.
  • Mix in the milk and mango purée.
  • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, folding gently just until combined.
  • Spoon the batter into the cupcake liners, filling each about ¾ full. Bake for 18–20 minutes.
  • Once cooled, hollow out a small center portion of each cupcake and fill with strawberry jam.
  • Beat the softened butter until creamy and gradually add powdered sugar.
  • Mix in vanilla extract and heavy cream until the frosting is smooth.
  • Divide the frosting into three separate bowls and color them.
  • Place all three colored frostings side-by-side into a single piping bag.
  • Pipe the tri-colored frosting onto the cupcakes using swirled motions.
  • Garnish each cupcake with a small slice of fresh strawberry or mango.

Notes

Ensure the butter and eggs are at room temperature for smoother batter and frosting. Use fresh or high-quality canned mango purée for the best flavor. Cupcakes can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 days at room temperature or 4 days refrigerated. Allow cupcakes to cool completely before frosting to prevent melting the buttercream.
