SWEET POTATO CUPCAKES WITH TOASTED MARSHMALLOW FROSTING
These spiced fall cupcakes are a riff on the classic Thanksgiving casserole. These days, I tend to like savory sweet potato dishes with the meal, but marshmallowy cupcakes make a terrific fall dessert! Store any leftover cupcakes in the refrigerator.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line 12 muffin cups with cupcake liners.
- Beat butter and brown sugar with an electric mixer in a large bowl until light and fluffy. Add room-temperature eggs one at a time, allowing each egg to blend into the butter mixture before adding the next. Blend in vanilla extract and sweet potatoes.
- Whisk flour, baking powder, baking soda, 1/2 teaspoon salt, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and cloves in a bowl. Add half the flour to the sweet potato mixture, stirring just until incorporated. Blend in the milk and the remaining flour mixture.
- Scoop batter into prepared cupcake pan and bake in preheated oven until tops spring back when touched lightly with a finger and a toothpick inserted in the center of a cupcake comes out clean, 18 to 22 minutes. Cool on rack.
- To make frosting, combine white sugar, cream of tartar, a pinch of salt, egg whites, and cold water in a heatproof mixing bowl. Set the mixing bowl over a pan of simmering water and beat with an electric mixer until the mixture is very hot to the touch and stiff peaks have formed, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove the bowl from the heat and beat 1 minute more. Add 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and marshmallow creme and beat until combined.
- To frost the cupcakes, fill a pastry bag fitted with a large plain tip with frosting; pipe mini marshmallow-shaped dots all over the cupcakes. Alternatively, use a knife and frost them generously with lots of swoops and swirls.
- Set oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler.
- Arrange 3 or 4 cupcakes on a baking sheet and place them in the oven under the broiler. Toast until the frosting has started to brown, about 90 seconds (check every 20 seconds and rearrange the baking sheet, if necessary). Repeat with the remaining cupcakes until all are toasted.

SWEET POTATO CUPCAKE
Steps:
- For the graham cracker crust: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a standard muffin pan or cupcake pan with 12 cupcake liners.
- In a small mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, butter, granulated sugar and salt and mix well with a fork.
- Drop about 1 tablespoon of the graham cracker mixture into the bottom of each cupcake liner and press down to line the bottom. Bake for 5 minutes. Remove from the oven but keep the oven on.
- For the cake batter: In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium-low heat. Continue to cook, swirling occasionally, until the butter turns golden brown and there are little burnt bits at the bottom of the pan. Skim the foam from the top and pour it into a bowl (including the brown bits) to stop the cooking. Let cool to room temperature.
- In a medium bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, baking soda and salt and set aside.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer with a paddle attachment, cream together the brown sugar and browned butter on medium-high speed until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs and then scrape down the bowl. Mix in the sweet potato puree and vanilla extract, beating until just combined. Reduce the mixer speed to low and add in the dry ingredients, mixing until just incorporated.
- Divide the batter among the cupcake liners with the graham cracker crust, filling them three-quarters full. Bake until a tester inserted into the centers comes out clean, about 20 minutes. Set the pan on a rack to cool.
- For the frosting: In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese, butter, maple syrup and maple extract together until smooth. Add the confectioner' sugar and beat on low speed until incorporated. Increase the speed to high and mix until very light and fluffy. Add the salt and mix to incorporate.
- To assemble: Use a piping bag to frost the cooled cupcakes generously.
