Cupcake Preparation
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a muffin tin with cupcake liners.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, then mix in the vanilla, milk, and mango purée until smooth.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined.
- Scoop batter into liners, filling them ¾ full. Bake for 18-20 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean.
- Allow cupcakes to cool in the tin for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Fill each cooled cupcake with a teaspoon of strawberry jam.
Frosting Preparation
- Beat the butter until creamy, gradually add powdered sugar, then mix in heavy cream and vanilla until fluffy.
- Divide frosting and mix mango purée into one bowl and strawberry purée into another to get vibrant colors.
- Pipe the colored frosting onto each cupcake, alternating between mango and strawberry for a sunset effect.
- Optionally garnish with fresh mango and strawberry slices.
