Step‑by‑Step Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners.
- Whisk together all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl.
- Beat softened unsalted butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, then mix in vanilla extract.
- Incorporate ripe mango puree, Greek yogurt, and mango juice, then gradually mix in dry ingredients until just combined.
- Fill each paper liner two-thirds full with the batter, then bake for 16-18 minutes until golden brown.
- Prepare the strawberry filling by cooking strawberry puree and cornstarch over medium heat until thickened. Cool completely.
- Core the cooled cupcakes about an inch deep, creating pockets for the strawberry filling.
- Fill each cored cupcake with the strawberry mixture and replace the tops.
- Beat softened butter for frosting until fluffy, then add powdered sugar alternating with heavy cream until smooth.
- Color the frosting using food coloring and pipe onto cupcakes to resemble a sunset.
- Garnish with fresh fruit slices.
