Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups All-Purpose Flour
  • 1 cup Granulated Sugar
  • 1/2 cup Unsalted Butter, softened to room temperature
  • 2 Large Eggs, room temperature
  • 1 1/2 tsp Baking Powder
  • 1/2 tsp Salt
  • 1/2 cup Whole Milk, room temperature
  • 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
  • 2 Fresh Ripe Mangoes, peeled and diced
  • 2 Fresh Ripe Strawberries, washed and hulled
  • 8 oz Cream Cheese, full-fat, softened to room temperature
  • 1/2 cup Unsalted Butter, softened
  • 4 cups Powdered Sugar, sifted
  • 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
  • A Pinch of Salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
  2. In a large bowl, cream softened unsalted butter and granulated sugar with an electric mixer until light and fluffy (2-3 minutes).
  3. Beat in eggs one at a time, then mix in vanilla extract. Scrape down the bowl.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together sifted all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
  5. On low speed, gradually add dry ingredients in three additions, alternating with two additions of whole milk. Mix until just combined; do not overmix.
  6. Divide batter evenly among liners, filling two-thirds full. Bake 18-22 minutes, or until a wooden skewer comes out clean.
  7. Let cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  8. Peel and dice ripe mangoes. Blend in a food processor until smooth. Strain if desired for extra smoothness.
  9. Wash and hull strawberries. Blend until smooth. Strain if desired.
  10. In a large bowl, beat softened cream cheese and unsalted butter until smooth and creamy (2-3 minutes).
  11. Gradually add sifted powdered sugar, one cup at a time, beating on low. Increase speed to medium-high and beat 1-2 minutes until light and fluffy. Stir in vanilla extract and salt.
  12. Divide frosting equally into two bowls. Mix 2-3 tablespoons of mango puree into one bowl. Mix 2-3 tablespoons of strawberry puree into the second bowl.
  13. Fit a large piping bag with a star tip. Spoon mango-flavored frosting along one side of the bag, and strawberry-flavored frosting along the other side.
  14. Once cupcakes are completely cool, pipe a generous, two-toned swirl onto each cupcake.
