Instructions
1
Prepare dry ingredients
Sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt into a large mixing bowl. Set aside.
2
Mix wet base
In another bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, sugar, and salt until the sugar dissolves and the mixture is smooth.
3
Add mango
Stir the mango puree into the milk mixture until everything is well combined and smooth.
4
Combine and fold
Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the flour mixture. Fold gently until just combined—stop as soon as no dry flour remains. A few small lumps are fine.
5
Portion and top
Divide the batter evenly among 6 lined cupcake cups, filling each about two-thirds full. Scatter a few fresh mango cubes on top of each.
6
Bake
Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F). Bake for 22-25 minutes until the tops are lightly golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
7
Cool and serve
Let the cupcakes cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before serving.
