How to Make Mango Filled Coconut Cupcakes With Mango Buttercream

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 24-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 cup shredded sweetened coconut.
  3. In a separate measuring cup, combine 1 (13.5 ounce) can full-fat coconut milk, 1/2 cup vegetable oil, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  4. In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter and 1 3/4 cups granulated sugar using an electric mixer until light and fluffy.
  5. Beat in 4 large eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
  6. Gradually add the dry ingredients and the wet ingredients to the creamed butter mixture in alternating batches, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
  7. Fill each cupcake liner about 2/3 full. Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. While cupcakes bake, prepare the mango filling: In a medium bowl, beat 1 cup heavy cream with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form (about 7 minutes). Gently fold in 1 cup finely chopped ripe mango.
  9. While cupcakes cool, prepare the mango buttercream: In a medium bowl, cream together 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter and 1/2 cup mango puree until smooth.
  10. Gradually add 2-3 cups powdered sugar, beating until light and fluffy. Add more powdered sugar if needed to reach desired consistency.
  11. Once cupcakes are completely cool, use a small melon baller or knife to create a small hole in the center of each cupcake. Carefully remove the cupcake core, reserving for snacking or crumbling to add to the buttercream.
  12. Fill each cupcake cavity generously with the mango filling using a piping bag or spoon.
  13. Frost the cupcakes with the mango buttercream. You can top with additional mango chunks or coconut flakes, if desired.
