Sweet Potato Cupcakes

Ingredients:
  • 110g sugar
  • 120g flour
  • 50g sweet potato (steamed and blend with 10g butter)
  • 110g butter
  • 3 eggs
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder and 1/2 tsp bicarbonate soda
  • 1 tsp vanilla essence
  • 2tbsp milk

Methods:
  1. Cream butter and sugar. Make sure butter is soft so you spend less time creaming it. Once this mixture becomes fluffy and pale yellow, add in eggs, one at a time. 
  2. Add in the sweet potato mixture and continue beating.
  3. Mix well. Then add vanilla essence. 
  4. Add in half the flour (sieve with baking powder and bicarbonate soday first). Then add some milk. Put in remaining flour and milk and mix on medium speed till all combined.
  5. Fill cup cake casings about 3/4 with batter each. The batter will be enough for 12 casings.
    Bake in a 160 degree Centigrade oven for 15 to 20 minutes or until a skewer poked into the cake comes out clean. (Pre-heat oven for 20 minutes before you start mixing your cake batter).

    These cakes are rather dry, though yummy still.
