While we do not grow mangoes, we are always supporting our local Florida farmers. With mangos currently in season, we are sharing a delicious Fresh from Florida recipe this month “Florida Mango Cupcakes with Vanilla Glaze“. Trust us, this is a must-make! Enjoy!
INGREDIENTS (8 Servings)
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 ½ cups unbleached all-purpose flour
1 cup Florida sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
2 large eggs
½ cup milk
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
¼ teaspoon salt
PREPARATION
Preheat oven to 375 degrees if using the homemade recipe (if using store-bought, follow package instructions). Once the batter is prepared, place cupcake liners in a cupcake pan and set them 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 16-18 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 them aside. To prepare the batter, sift all the dry ingredients into a medium-sized 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.
