    1 vote
    I need no say how cupcakes are popular all over the world. That is the main reason why I from now and then feature a cupcake recipe. Japanese-style cupcakes seem to be still new. They naturally come with different ingredients. Have you ever thought of making one with sweet potato. Sweet potato is satsuma imo/薩摩芋 in Japanese and they originally came from Central America. The recipe below is very simple and should be easily expanded.

    Ingredients

    • For 2 large 10×10 cm cupcakes (can of course be divided into smaller ones)
    • Sweet potato: 200 g
    • Sugar: 30 g
    • Dry raisins: 30 g
    • All purpose flour: 50 g
    • Butter: 60 g
    • Egg: 1
    • Baking powder: half a teaspoon
    • Powdered sugar: a little

    Directions

    1. -Set a microwave oven on “vegetables cooking” and heat the sweet potatoes. Peel their skins off. Pre-heat oven to 180 degrees Celsius.
    2. -In a food processor drop in flour, sugar, butter, egg and baking powder. Blend. Add sweet potato and blend.
    3. -Add raisins and mix roughly. Pour into cups. Bake at 180 degrees Celsius for 25~30 minutes.
    4. -Once baked sprinkle with powdered sugar.
