These lovely cupcakes are sure to remind you of the lightest pound cake. A hint of mango with rum flavoured cream, a nice light treat.

This recipe is fantastic. I used mango but increased it to almost a cup. So easy to put together but with incredible flavor. These will certainly be made again and again. A great summer dessert as well. Thanks for sharing this recipe babt Kato. made for AUS/NZ swap

This was a real treat even though I used peaches in place of mango, as the mango was just way to expensive this time of year, this is time consuming but well worth the extra effort, next time I will make a double batch and try it wil mango, these are so good, thanks Baby K!...Kitten:)

These mini cakes are absolutely delicious! I loved the rum-flavoured cream and I'm so pleased that I bought a bottle of both dark and white rum for the contest recipes. The dark rum works just fantastically in here! I wish I could give this recipe 4.5 stars! My BF wanted to give the cakes 5 stars and I do agree that this is a fantastic recipe. However, mangoes are expensive here in Switzerland and because of all the lovely rum cream I could hardly taste them. I would have loved them to play a more important role in this recipe. For example to have bits on top of the cream before the coconut is sprinkled on. Thank you so much for creating this recipe. This is certainly a recipe I'll come back to, although I may change it slightly.
