AuthorgooeygraciousmeCategoryEggless BakesPreheat oven to 180C and line tray with cupcake liners.
Sift the flour into a large bowl. Add bicarbonate soda, baking powder, cardamom powder and salt and mix together.
In a separate bowl, add mango puree (we used tinned), oil, sugar and vanilla extract. Beat this together until well combined.
Add the wet ingredients to the dry and use a handheld whisk to mix everything until you have a smooth batter. Do not over whisk as you do not want to create air bubbles.
Fill the cupcake liners equally and bake for 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. The mango puree is heavy so can take a little longer to bake.
For the mango buttercream, whisk the butter for about a minute until creamy.
Add the mango puree, vanilla extract and half the icing sugar. Whisk until combined, then add the remaining sugar and beat until everything is mixed together for another minute.
Frost the cupcakes after they’ve completely cooled down and garnish with the chopped pistachios.
