Baking Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with colorful paper liners.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened unsalted butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
- Add the large eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition, then pour in the vanilla extract and mix until smooth.
- Gently fold in the ripe mango puree, Greek yogurt, and mango juice into your butter-sugar-egg mixture.
- Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet, folding softly until just combined.
- Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each liner about two-thirds full. Bake for 16-18 minutes.
- While the cupcakes bake, make the strawberry filling by heating the strawberry preserves with cornstarch until thickened.
- Once cooled, use a knife to core the center of each cupcake and fill with the cooled strawberry filling.
- To make the frosting, beat the softened butter, gradually add the powdered sugar and heavy cream until smooth.
- Divide the frosting and color with gel colors; pipe onto the cupcakes to create a stunning sunset effect.
- Garnish each cupcake with fresh fruit slices before serving.
