INGREDIENTS

• 2 Florida mangoes, diced small

Vanilla Glaze

• 1 cup powdered sugar
• 2 teaspoons milk
• 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
• Pinch of sea salt

Homemade Cupcake Batter

• 1 1/2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
• 1 cup Florida sugar
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
• 2 large eggs
• 1/2 cup milk
• 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
• 1/4 teaspoon salt

 

PREPARATION
Preheat oven to 375 degrees if using the homemade recipe (if using store bought, follow package instructions). Once batter is prepared, place cupcake liners in cupcake pan and set aside. Fold in half of the diced mangoes into the batter. Using an ice cream scoop, evenly divide the batter into the liners about two-thirds full (do not overfill). Bake for about 16 to 18 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean when inserted. Set aside to cool completely. To make the glaze combine powdered sugar, milk, salt, and vanilla extract. Stir to combine until completely smooth. Drizzle each cupcake with the glaze and top with remaining diced mangoes.

Homemade Cupcake Batter

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Place the cupcake liners in the cupcake pan and set aside. To prepare the batter, sift all the dry ingredients into a medium bowl. Mix in the softened butter until it looks crumbly (the butter does not have to be fully incorporated). In a separate bowl, whisk the wet ingredients together and add this mixture to the dry ingredients, stirring to combine. Using an ice cream scoop, evenly divide the batter into the liners about two-thirds full (do not overfill). Bake for about 16 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean when inserted. Cool completely before frosting.
