  3. Fill each cupcake liner two-thirds full with the batter, and bake for 18-22 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Let them cool completely.

  2. Remove from heat and allow to cool completely before filling the cupcakes.
Frosting Preparation
  1. Beat the butter and vegetable shortening in a mixing bowl until creamy. Add in the vanilla extract, fresh key lime juice, and pureed mango.
  2. Gradually mix in the powdered sugar until the frosting is smooth and fluffy.
Assemble Cupcakes
  1. Pipe the frosting generously onto each cupcake and garnish with lime zest, a slice of key lime, and colorful sprinkles.
  2. Chill the cupcakes for at least 20 minutes before serving.
