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
 

Cupcake Preparation

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with cupcake liners.
  • 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.

Frosting Preparation

  • Beat the softened butter until creamy.
  • Gradually add powdered sugar while continuing to beat to incorporate air.
  • Mix in vanilla extract and heavy cream until the frosting is smooth and spreadable.
  • Divide the frosting into three separate bowls and mix one with mango purée and the other with strawberry purée.
  • Place all three colored frostings side-by-side into a single piping bag fitted with a decorative tip.
  • Pipe the tri-colored frosting onto the cupcakes using swirled motions.
  • Garnish with a small slice of fresh strawberry or mango if desired.

Notes

Ensure the butter and eggs are at room temperature. Use fresh or high-quality canned mango purée for the best flavor. Can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 days at room temperature or 4 days refrigerated.
