Chef Kareem Queeman's sweet potato cake is inspired by the flavors of sweet potato pies made by his Aunt Janet during the holidays. This dessert features a moist sweet potato cake with a blend of brown and white sugar, a spice blend with ingredients like cinnamon, and pure vanilla extract. The cupcakes are topped with a velvety cream cheese frosting and a homemade salted caramel drizzle, offering a well-balanced and flavorful treat.

Chef Kareem at Mr. Bake Sweets in Riverdale, Maryland shows Seth the secrets behind his sweet potato cupcake. First he complements the natural sweetness of the mashed sweet potatoes with a blend of brown sugar, white sugar and secret spices. Oil keeps the cupcakes moist when they are baked. Then Kareem tops them with a special cream cheese frosting and drizzled with salted caramel.
We ordered some cupcakes to pick up on a whim this evening when we saw this place in Le Fantome. We got chocolate, sweet potato, and vanilla and they were the BEST cupcakes we've had since moving to the DMV 17+ years ago. Nothing compares. They are SO MOIST, the cake is so flavorful, the icings are so delicious.
