Sweet Potato Cupcakes With Cream Cheese Icing
- FOR THE CUPCAKES:
- 1/2 cups Quinoa Flour
- 1/2 cups All-purpose Flour
- 3/4 teaspoons Baking Soda
- 1/4 teaspoons Salt
- 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoons Nutmeg
- 1 Egg
- 1/2 cans (15 Oz. Size) Sweet Potato Puree
- 1/2 cups Canola Oil
- 2 Tablespoons Molasses
- 3/4 cups Brown Sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
- FOR THE FROSTING:
- 1 package Cream Cheese (8 Ounce Package)
- 2 Tablespoons Earth Balance (or Butter)
- 1 cup Powdered Sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
- Preheat the oven to 350u0b0F (175u0b0C) and prepare your 12-count cupcake pan by greasing it or using paper liners.
- In one bowl, combine the flours, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg and sift together.
- In a separate large bowl, combine the egg, pumpkin, canola oil, molasses, brown sugar and vanilla by stirring well. Add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients in portions while stirring.
- Divide batter into cupcake pan and bake for about 30 minutes. Then remove pan from the oven and allow cupcakes to cool while you prepare the frosting.
- In a large bowl beat together the cream cheese, Earth Balance, powdered sugar and vanilla until a rich creamy texture has formed. I always try to use as little sugar as possible by starting with 1 cup and adding more if needed. You can use 2 cups if you like a sweeter frosting. Then ice the cupcakes and dig in!
