MANGO AND PINEAPPLE CUPCAKES

You know definitively when you bite into this cupcake that it’s a mango one, but not in an overpowering way. It’s also another of those fruits that tastes better the second day, like banana bread and carrot cake. I also added the mango pulp to the frosting and again it added the most amazing flavour.

For the pineapple middle, I drained pineapple crush and then squeezed as much of the liquid out as possible. Then I took my cupcake corer (I use the OXO one) and took the middle out of all of the cupcakes. Then you just need to trim the cores so you have a top, and spoon in 1tsp of pineapple to each cupcake.

To finish them off, pop the top back on and pipe a swirl of sweet, golden mango frosting on top. Then dig into these sunshine filled cupcakes and enjoy!

These soft Mango Cupcakes are filled with crushed pineapple and topped with a light and fluffy mango frosting. A delicious tropical cupcake perfect for the warmer weather!
