Zubereitung von Sweet Potato Cupcakes
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 24-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon baking soda, and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter with an electric mixer on medium-high speed for 30 seconds.
- Gradually add 1 3/4 cups granulated sugar and beat on high speed until light and fluffy (about 2 minutes).
- Beat in 2 large eggs one at a time, mixing on low speed after each addition until just combined.
- Add 1 1/2 cups cooked and mashed sweet potato and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract; beat until well combined.
- Gently fold in the dry ingredients until just incorporated. Be careful not to overmix.
- Evenly divide the batter among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 full.
- Bake for 20-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the cupcakes cool in the muffin tin for 1 minute before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- While cupcakes are cooling, prepare the cream cheese frosting:
- In a large bowl, beat 1 (8-ounce) package of cream cheese, softened, and 2/3 cup (1 1/2 sticks) softened unsalted butter with an electric mixer on medium speed for 30 seconds.
- Add 2 tablespoons bourbon (or milk) and beat until combined.
- Gradually add 3 cups powdered sugar, beating until smooth and creamy. Add more powdered sugar, 1/4 cup at a time, until desired consistency is reached.
- Transfer frosting to a piping bag fitted with a large round tip (or use a zip-top bag with a corner snipped off).
- Pipe frosting onto cooled cupcakes.
- Garnish with candied orange peel (optional).
