Steps

  • 1
    Heat oven to 350°F. Place mini paper baking cup in each of 24 mini muffin cups; spray paper cups with cooking spray. In small bowl, mix flour, baking powder and salt; set aside.
  • 2
    In medium bowl, beat 1/4 cup butter and the granulated sugar with electric mixer on medium speed 1 minute. Add eggs, one at a time, beating on low speed after each addition. Alternately add flour mixture, about one-third at a time, and 1/3 cup milk, about half at a time, beating just until blended. Beat in 1 teaspoon lime peel. Stir in mango.
  • 3
    Fill each muffin cup with about 1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon batter or until about two-thirds full.
  • 4
    Bake 12 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool 10 minutes. Remove cupcakes from pans; place on cooling racks. Cool completely, about 15 minutes.
  • 5
    In medium bowl, beat frosting ingredients with electric mixer on medium speed until smooth. Spoon frosting into decorating bag fitted with star tip; pipe frosting on each cupcake.

  • You can replace the lime with lemon in this recipe, but do not remove citrus entirely as it balances the sweetness of the mango.
  • For an extra bit of flavor, you can substitute buttermilk for the milk in the cupcake batter.
