Step-by-Step Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with colorful paper liners.
- In a bowl, whisk together 1.5 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon of baking powder, 0.5 teaspoon of baking soda, and 0.5 teaspoon of salt.
- Cream together 0.5 cups of softened unsalted butter and 1 cup of granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Add 2 large eggs one at a time and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract.
- Mix together 1 cup of ripe mango puree, 0.5 cups of Greek yogurt, and 0.25 cups of mango juice. Fold into the butter mixture.
- Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet mixture, alternating with 0.5 cups of mango juice until just combined.
- Fill the cupcake liners two-thirds full and bake for 16-18 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
- In a saucepan, combine 0.5 cups of strawberry preserves and 1 tablespoon of cornstarch over medium heat until thick. Allow to cool.
- Core a small section from each cupcake and fill with the strawberry mixture, then replace tops.
- Beat 0.5 cups of butter, gradually add 2 cups of powdered sugar and 0.25 cups of heavy cream until smooth. Add another 0.25 cups of mango puree.
- Divide frosting for coloring with gel colors. Pipe swirls atop cupcakes and garnish with slices of fresh mango and strawberries.
