These easy Mango cupcakes are wonderful as an easy spring dessert idea. Made with a boxed cake mix and fresh mango with a buttercream frosting.

There are so many things I love about spring. I love all the beautiful flowers that bloom around town, and I love that there are more sunny days in Southern California that make for wonderful afternoons and evenings.

I also love the many fresh fruits that are in season and available this time of year.

One of my favorite fruits of the season is mango. Most of the mangos in California come from Mexico. The mango has a wonderful flavor and are sweet and juicy.

 

 

 

 

I love to serve them in fruit bowls, smoothies, salsas, cocktails and cupcakes. Today I am sharing my simple recipe for mango cupcakes. I used Mango smoothie to save time, but you can also make your own by pureeing fresh cut, ripe mango in a food processor.

 

 

Frost when cooled with buttercream frosting. Top with a slice of fresh mango if you wish.

 

 

These make a nice dessert for Mothers’ Day and Cinco de Mayo festivities.
