Ingredients
  

  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter melted
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 cup pureed strawberries frozen and thawed, pureed smooth
  • 1 cup chopped mango fresh or frozen and thawed
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Equipment

  • Electric Mixer or Whisk
  • Cupcake/muffin tin
  • Paper cupcake liners

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a cupcake tin with paper liners. Measure and set aside all ingredients.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt. Whisk until evenly distributed.
  3. In another bowl, beat the eggs and sugar with an electric mixer or whisk until well combined and slightly frothy, about 2 minutes.
    1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  4. Add the melted butter, milk, and pureed strawberries to the egg mixture. Mix until smooth and integrated.
    1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  5. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture using a spatula until just combined. Do not overmix.
    1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  6. Gently fold in the chopped mango until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
    1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  7. Spoon or scoop the batter into the prepared cupcake liners, filling each about 2/3 full.
    1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  8. Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a cupcake comes out clean. The tops should be golden brown.
  9. Remove cupcakes from the oven and let them cool in the tin for 5 minutes. Then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
