Ingredients:

• 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 1/2 cups mashed sweet potatoes
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 2 eggs
• 1/4 cup buttermilk
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 1/2 tsp baking soda
• 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
• 1/4 tsp salt
• For Frosting:
• 8 oz cream cheese, softened
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 4 cups powdered sugar
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon

Instructions:

Warm your oven up to 350 ?F 175?C and put paper liners in a cupcake tin

Put the flour, baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and salt in a bowl and mix them together

Put away

Melt the butter and mix it with the sugar in another bowl until the mixture is light and fluffy

One at a time, add the eggs and beat well after each one

Add the vanilla extract and mashed sweet potatoes and mix well

Add the dry ingredients to the sweet potato mixture slowly, mixing in the buttermilk every so often

Start with the dry ingredients and end with the buttermilk

Don't mix any further than that

Fill each liner about two thirds of the way to the top with cupcake batter in the cupcake pan that has been prepared

In a hot oven, bake for 18 to 20 minutes, or until a toothpick stuck in the middle comes out clean

Let the cupcakes cool for a few minutes in the pan, then move them to a wire rack to cool all the way down

Melt the cream cheese and butter together

Then, beat them together until the frosting is smooth and creamy

After you add the vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and powdered sugar, keep beating until everything is well mixed

Make the cinnamon-cream cheese frosting and put it on the cupcakes after they are completely cool

If you want, you can decorate the cupcakes with extra ground cinnamon or chopped nuts

Serve and have fun!
