Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
- 2 large eggs
- ½ cup whole milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup diced fresh mango
- 1 cup diced fresh strawberries
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Fresh mint leaves for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a muffin tin with cupcake liners.
- In a large bowl, beat the softened butter and sugar together until light and fluffy.
- Incorporate the eggs one by one, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the milk and vanilla extract until combined.
- In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just blended.
- Fold in the diced mango and strawberries gently until evenly distributed.
- Spoon the batter into the cupcake liners, filling each about two-thirds full.
- Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
- While the cupcakes cool, prepare the frosting by mixing the powdered sugar, softened butter, heavy cream, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Once cooled, frost the cupcakes generously with the creamy mixture and top with fresh mint leaves if desired.
