Ingredients

• 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 1.5 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 0.5 cup coconut milk
• 0.75 cup shredded sweetened coconut
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 0.75 cup mango puree
• 2 cups powdered sugar
• 0.5 cup unsalted butter, softened (for buttercream)
• 2 tablespoons heavy cream

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with cupcake liners.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter and sugar together using an electric mixer until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 4

Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the coconut milk, starting and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.

Step 6

Fold in the shredded sweetened coconut gently.

Step 7

Divide the batter evenly among the cupcake liners, filling each about 2/3 full.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a cupcake comes out clean.

Step 9

Allow the cupcakes to cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

Using a small knife or cupcake corer, remove the center of each cupcake and fill it with about 1 teaspoon of mango puree. Replace the removed cupcake tops if desired.

Step 11

To make the mango buttercream, beat the softened butter with an electric mixer until creamy. Gradually add the powdered sugar, mixing well after each addition.

Step 12

Add the remaining mango puree and heavy cream to the buttercream mixture, beating until smooth and fluffy.

Step 13

Pipe or spread the mango buttercream onto the cooled, filled cupcakes.

Step 14

Garnish with shredded coconut or fresh mango slices, if desired. Serve and enjoy!
