Ingredients
- 250 g sweet potatoes Peeled and diced
- 200 g plain flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
- 100 g butter Unsalted and softened
- 150 g caster sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 100 ml milk Whole
For the Topping
- 100 g double cream
- 1 tbsp icing sugar
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Line a muffin tin with cupcake liners.
- Boil the diced sweet potatoes until they are tender, then drain and mash them. Allow them to cool.
- In a mixing bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and ground nutmeg. Set aside.
- In another bowl, cream together the softened butter and caster sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- Gradually add the mashed sweet potatoes to the wet mixture and mix until well combined.
- Alternately add the dry ingredients and the milk to the sweet potato mixture, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until the batter is smooth.
- Spoon the batter into the cupcake liners, filling each about two-thirds full.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the centre of a cupcake comes out clean.
- Remove the cupcakes from the oven and allow them to cool in the muffin tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- In a separate bowl, whip the double cream, icing sugar, and vanilla extract together until it forms stiff peaks.
- Once the cupcakes are completely cooled, pipe or spread the whipped cream topping on each cupcake.
- You can optionally sprinkle a pinch of ground cinnamon or nutmeg on top for extra flavour.
