Yes. Apparently, my vacation is boring enough that I'm playing with dolls and getting back into baking. I'd like to be able to say that I was off doing something cool in my time away from this blog, but the sad thing is I just haven't had the extra $$ to spend on baking supplies so it's going to be a once in awhile thing now, I think.
Maybe.
Anyway, on to the recipe!
Sweet Potato Cupcakes with Cream Cheese Frosting
Ingredients:
1/2 cup of shortening
1 cup granulated sugar
1 cup packed brown sugar
2 eggs, beaten
1 cup of canned sweet potato pie filling
1/4 tsp ginger
1/4 tsp cinnamon
3 cups flour
4 tsps baking power
1/4 tsp baking soda
1/2 cup of milk
1 tsp vanilla extract

1.) Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line muffin tin with papers.
2.) In a large bowl, cream the shortening.
3.) Slowly add sugar, eggs and sweet potatoes.

6.) Mix until well blended.
7.) Scoop into muffin tins and bake for 20 minutes.
Frosting a cream cheese frosting I made with butter, cream cheese, sugar and vanilla! Also, the cupcakes turn out more like muffins if you only use the recommended amount of milk. I added a little bit more until it was the consistency I desire and the second batch turned out really yummy.
