Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a cupcake tray with paper liners.
- Mix dry ingredients: In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
- Cream the butter and sugar: In a large mixing bowl, beat the unsalted butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
- Add eggs and vanilla: Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract until evenly mixed.
- Incorporate dry ingredients: Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, alternating with the mango puree. Start and end with the flour mixture, mixing just until combined.
- Fold in strawberries: Gently fold in the chopped strawberries to incorporate them into the batter.
- Fill the liners: Divide the batter evenly among the prepared cupcake liners, filling each about two-thirds full.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Cool: Allow the cupcakes to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Frost: Once cooled, frost the cupcakes with your mango-infused buttercream frosting, and feel free to decorate them with fresh strawberry slices on top!
