  5. Add the milk and mango purée, blending until smooth.
  6. Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet mixture, folding gently until just combined.

  8. Cool the cupcakes completely on a wire rack and fill them with strawberry jam.
  9. In a clean bowl, beat butter until creamy, then gradually add powdered sugar, heavy cream, and vanilla extract to make frosting.
