Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour

- ½ cup milk
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup fresh strawberries, diced

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with cupcake liners.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.

- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with the milk, and mix until just combined.
- Gently fold in the diced strawberries and mango.
- Divide the batter evenly among the cupcake liners, filling each about two-thirds full.
- Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Allow the cupcakes to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- For the frosting, beat together the powdered sugar, 2 tablespoons of milk, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
- Once the cupcakes are completely cool, frost them with the prepared frosting.
Notes
- For a tropical twist, add shredded coconut to the batter or as a topping on the frosting.
- Substitute the strawberries and mango with your favorite fruits, such as blueberries and peaches, for a different flavor profile.
