Sweet potato cupcakes on Boxing Day! A new tradition? Perhaps. Craving cupcakes and sweet potato, I searched the internet for recipes and chose bakerella's "Not your kid's cupcake" recipe, prepared without the bourbon.
I halved the recipe which yielded nine medium-sized cupcakes. Also, I used canned sweet potato puree (organic) instead of whole potatoes. I used 1/4 teaspoon of cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon of ginger, and about 1/4 teaspoon of freshly grated nutmeg as I did not have pumpkin spice. I topped them with a frosting of equal parts cream cheese (2 oz) and butter sweetened with about a 1/4 teaspoon of brown sugar. No pretty pictures to share with you, sorry, but the cupcakes are delicious!
p.s. I've used this recipe twice. Flavorful, moist cupcakes.
ReplyDeleteI was in Amman late last year when an American tried to convince me about how heavenly sweet potato pie is. I refused to accept that, until I came to a Thanksgiving dinner that served sweet potato casserole.
ReplyDeleteWhere have I been all these years??
