Vegan Mango Cupcakes Mango Buttercream Holy Cow Vegan Recipes

You might also like these recipes for vegan mango cake and vegan mango bread. Mmmm…As you already know, I love my vegan cupcakes, especially ultra-creamy, tender ones like these vegan vanilla cupcakes. After all, how can anyone not love portion-controlled indulgence? And yes, I’ll admit, these mango cupcakes are indulgent, and rich, although probably nowhere near as rich as a non-vegan version could be. Besides, all of us need a little indulgence every now and then, don’t we? And what can be more comforting than a soft, fluffy cupcake covered with mounds of soft, fluffy frosting. I use canned mango puree in these cupcakes because here in the United States, it’s not easy for me to get my hands on the ultra-sweet and delicious Indian mangoes that these cupcakes so badly need. Try to use the puree of Alphonso mangoes (which is available at Indian stores) because this is by far the richest and most full-bodied and sweetest mango you’ll ever taste, hands down. If you’re lucky enough to live in India where mangoes are in season during the summer, use fresh mango puree by all means. Lucky you. The mango buttercream for these vegan mango cupcakes is made with vegan butter (like Earth Balance) and shortening, with a dash of mango puree and trust me, one bite of this and you will feel like you’ve just died and gone to heaven. It’s a beautiful, versatile icing and one that you can use to frost all kinds of cakes. You can leave out the frosting and still have a delicious cupcake, but why would you?
