Time 1h25m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 20

1 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
½ teaspoon ground ginger
¼ teaspoon baking soda
¼ teaspoon fine sea salt
¼ teaspoon ground cloves
5 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
½ cup Stevia In The Raw® Bakers Bag
¼ cup sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 cup canned sweet potato puree
¼ cup sour cream
1 cup powdered sugar
1 cup Stevia In The Raw® Bakers Bag
½ stick unsalted butter, softened
2 tablespoons milk, or more as needed
½ teaspoon maple extract
12 pecans

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a 12-cup cupcake pan with paper liners.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, cinnamon, ginger, baking soda, cloves, and salt.
  • In a large bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat butter with stevia and sugar until fluffy, 3 to 4 minutes. Add eggs one at a time, scraping down bowl and beaters after each addition. Beat in vanilla. Beat in 1/3 of flour mixture, then sweet potato puree, then another 1/3 flour mixture, then sour cream, then remaining flour mixture just until combined.
  • Divide batter between cupcake cups and bake until lightly browned and firm, about 25 minutes. Let cool completely, at least 45 minutes.
  • For frosting, in a large bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat sugar, stevia, and butter until smooth and creamy. Add enough milk to reach a smooth, spreadable, but not runny, consistency. Beat in maple extract. If frosting is too loose, refrigerate, covered, until spreadable.
  • Use a small offset spatula to frost cupcakes. If desired, top each cupcake with a pecan.
