  3. Beat eggs until light and fluffy. Add sugar to it and beat nicely until they blend well.
  4. Now add mango puree and beat again. Add coconut milk also and beat again.
  5. Fold sifted dry ingredients into wet into batches of three. Ensure there are no lumps and the batter is smooth. Place some flaked almonds and desiccated coconut on the top of the batter.

  12. Chill them into the fridge. You can pipe the frosting Or use spoon for spreading icing.
  13. Your Mango Coconut Cupcakes are ready with icing. Serve them chilled with a dollop of mango icecream Or mango chunks.
Notes
If fresh coconut milk isn't available you could use canned coconut milk.
Vegetarians can use 2 tbsp flaxseed powder mixed with 6tbsp water instead of egg. I have tried eggless too and it tastes equally great.
Please don't overbake Or underbake this cake.
For almond powder just crush almonds and grind them into a processor until powder formed. Don't overgrind them unless you want almond butter.
