Ingredients
Mango Rasayana
- 2 Mangoes medium-sized, ripe
- ¼ cup Coconut grated
- ½ tsp Cardamom Powder
- ½ cup Sugar
- 2 Tbsp Milk or as needed for consistency
Cupcakes
- ¾ cup Whole Wheat Flour whole
- ½ tsp Baking Powder
- ¼ tsp Baking Soda
- 1 tsp Salt or to taste
- ¼ cup Oil
- ¾ cup Mango Rasayana prepared
- 2 Tbsp Chocolate Chips optional
Instructions
- Blend the pulp of two ripe mangoes until smooth. Set the puree aside.
- In a mixer jar, combine the grated coconut, cardamom powder, and sugar. Grind to a fine paste.
- In a large bowl, combine the mango puree and coconut paste. Mix well.
- Gradually add milk to the mango mixture to achieve a thick rasayana consistency. This will be used as the cupcake filling.
- Sift together the whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt 8-10 times. Sifting helps create a light and airy cupcake texture.
- In a large bowl, gently fold the prepared mango rasayana and oil into the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined, being careful not to overmix. If the batter seems too thick, add a little milk to adjust the consistency.
- Line a cupcake tin with paper liners. Fill each liner about two-thirds full with the batter. Sprinkle with chocolate chips, if desired.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) for 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let the cupcakes cool completely in the tin before serving.
Recipe Notes
Good To Know
- Oven temperature settings vary between ovens.
- The sugar quantity can be adjusted to your preference and the sweetness of the mangoes.
- The batter is usually thick, but you can thin it slightly with a little milk.
- For an extra layer of texture, sprinkle toasted coconut flakes or chopped cashews on top of the cupcakes before baking.
- For a stronger mango flavor, swirl a spoonful of thick mango pulp into the center of each cupcake before baking.
- To make these cupcakes vegan, substitute dairy milk with coconut milk and use a plant-based butter or oil.
- Serve the cupcakes slightly warm with a drizzle of sweetened coconut cream and a pinch of cardamom for an elegant presentation.
Expert Tips
- Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can lead to tough cupcakes.
- Fill the cupcake liners only two-thirds full to allow for rising.
- Let the cupcakes cool completely before frosting to prevent the frosting from melting.
Storage Instructions
- Store leftover cupcakes in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
