# Step-by-Step Guide:
01 -
Swipe or pipe the strawberry frosting all over those cooled cupcakes. Top each one with sliced strawberries or mango pieces if you're going for it.
02 -
Using a big bowl, beat your room temp butter until it's smooth and fluffy. Slowly shake in that powdered sugar and keep mixing. Toss in your strawberry puree and vanilla. Beat until it's totally blended and a nice texture. Need it thick? Add extra sugar. Too stiff? Loosen up with a splash of puree or bit of milk.
03 -
Plop those cupcakes on a cooling rack. Let them chill all the way. Don’t start frosting 'til they’re totally at room temp.
04 -
Portion the batter between the liners—fill 'em about 2/3 full. Bake them for 18–20 mins. Poke a cupcake with a toothpick and if it comes out clean, they're ready.
05 -
Bit by bit, mix your dry bowl into the wet mixture. Stop as soon as it looks blended. Don't mix more than you have to.
06 -
In a big bowl, blend together soft butter and sugar until you get a light, airy mix. Crack in the eggs one at a time, mixing each in real well. Dump in the mango puree, milk, and vanilla, and stir until smooth.
07 -
Grab a second bowl and whisk your flour, baking powder, and salt until everything’s mixed up nice.
08 -
Switch on the oven to 350°F (175°C). Pop paper liners into each spot on your cupcake tray.
# Additional Notes:
01 -
Want a stronger mango vibe? Drop in a little mango extract with the batter.
02 -
No fresh strawberries lying around? Just use a bit of strawberry jam instead for your frosting.
