Sweet Potato Mini Cakes cont.

1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon rum extract
1-1/2 cups ground walnuts


In a large mixing bowl, combine the first eight ingredients. Add eggs, oil,

walnuts. Fill 12 greased or paper-lined jumbo muffin cups three-fourths full.
Bake at 350° for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool for
10 minutes before removing from pans to wire racks to cool completely. For
frosting, in a large mixing bowl, beat cream cheese and butter until fluffy. Beat
in the sugars and extracts until smooth. Frost sides of cakes; roll in walnuts.
Place cakes upside down and frost tops with remaining frosting.
