TROPICAL MANGO VANILLA CUPCAKES
This fabulous cupcake combines mango and coconut flavors for a tropical flavor. Frostcream frosting is made with reduced fresh mango for exceptional mango flavor. Vanilla cupcake is moist, rich, and buttery with a little coconut.
This is one of my first recipes since I first started this blog. This is a fan favorite and a family favorite too. I recently started adjusting this recipe a little to give better and more consistent results. The biggest change I made was the buttercream. The original recipe uses fresh mango puree, and while the taste is present, the taste is unusual. So I have updated the recipe to use reduced fresh mango for more flavor and thicker consistency.
WHY THIS RECIPE IS SO GREAT:
It has the best mango buttercream. Instead of just using mango juice or mango extract, I purify a cup of diced fresh mango, cook it to half a cup, and use it in buttercream. Using reduction gives a natural freezing flavor of mangoes, without having to use extracts. It gives a beautiful bright orange color buttercream too without having to use food coloring. The reduction also helps thicken the freezing and makes it more stable.
The cupcake is very easy to make. It is all done by hand so there is no need to get out of the heavy mixer stand.
The recipe is easy to adapt. You can replace coconut yogurt with regular cream, vanilla or even sour cream if coconut is not your choice. You can also use canned or frozen mango pulp if fresh mango is not available where you are.
