  4. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each, then mix in the vanilla, milk, and mango purée.

  6. Fill the cupcake liners about ¾ full with the batter and bake for 18-20 minutes.

  9. Beat the softened butter, powdered sugar, and heavy cream until light and fluffy to prepare the frosting.
