Ingredients
- All-purpose flour
- Baking powder
- Sugar
- Butter
- Eggs
- Mango puree
- vanilla bean paste
- Coconut milk
- Powdered sugar
- Cream cheese
Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat and Prepare: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a cupcake tray with paper liners to make sure your cupcakes don’t stick. This is where they will bake into fluffy clouds of delight!
- Step 2: Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and sugar. This step ensures that everything is evenly distributed so every bite is packed with flavor!
- Step 3: Cream Butter and Eggs: In another bowl, beat together your softened butter until creamy. Add in eggs one at a time while mixing well after each addition. Then incorporate the mango puree and vanilla bean paste until combined for that luscious tropical twist!
- Step 4: Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Add your dry mixture into the wet mixture gradually. Pour in coconut milk while stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to over-mix; we want those lovely airy textures!
- Step 5: Bake Those Cupcakes!: Scoop the batter into your prepared cupcake liners, filling them about two-thirds full. Bake for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean when inserted into the center. Your kitchen will soon be filled with tantalizing aromas!
- Step 6: Make Frosting & Decorate: While cooling, whip up your frosting by beating cream cheese with powdered sugar until smooth. Once cooled down, frost your cupcakes generously. You can even sprinkle some toasted coconut on top for extra flair!
Notes
- For optimal freshness, store your Tropical Mango Cupcakes in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days, or refrigerate for up to a week. If you want to enjoy them warm, simply pop the cupcakes in the microwave for about 10-15 seconds until they’re nice and cozy. Serve your cupcakes with a dollop of whipped cream and a slice of fresh mango on top for an extra touch of tropical goodness. To enhance the flavor, use ripe mango puree and make sure to beat your butter well—this will create a light texture that makes each bite melt in your mouth!
