  6. Gently fold in diced strawberries and mango.
  7. Fill each cupcake liner 2/3 full with the batter.
  8. Bake for 18–22 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  9. Let cupcakes cool completely on a wire rack before frosting.

For a smoother texture, puree the fruits before folding into the batter. You can also use a fruit-flavored frosting to enhance the taste.
