  3. In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar for 3-5 minutes until light and fluffy.
  4. Add eggs one at a time, followed by vanilla, milk, and mango purée; mix until smooth.
  5. Gradually add dry ingredients to wet, stirring until just combined.
  6. Fill cupcake liners ¾ full and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
  7. Cool cupcakes in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  8. Create a hole in each cupcake and fill with strawberry jam.
