Zubereitung von Sweet Potato Pecan Cupcakes With Cream Cheese Frosting
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Place 1 cup pecan halves in a single layer on a baking sheet.
- Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until toasted, stirring halfway through.
- Cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened butter and 1 ½ cups granulated sugar using an electric mixer until light and fluffy.
- Add 4 large eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 ½ cups mashed sweet potato, ¼ cup orange juice, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
- In another bowl, whisk together 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg, and ½ teaspoon salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the sweet potato mixture, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
- Gently fold in the toasted pecans.
- Line a muffin tin with paper liners. Fill each liner about two-thirds full.
- Bake for 28-30 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let cool in the muffin tin for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
- While cupcakes cool, prepare the cream cheese frosting (see below).
- Once cupcakes are completely cool, frost generously and garnish as desired.
- **Cream Cheese Frosting:** Beat ½ cup (1 stick) softened butter with 8 oz cream cheese (softened) until smooth. Gradually add 3 cups powdered sugar and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, beating until light and fluffy.
