1½ cups unbleached flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
2 teaspoons ground ginger
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 large eggs
1/2 cup Stevia In The Raw® Bakers Bag
1/3 cup canola oil
3/4 cup unsweetened applesauce
1/2 cup unsulfured molasses
1/2 cup preserved ginger, finely chopped
Vanilla Cream Cheese Frosting
1 (6-ounce) package reduced-fat cream cheese at room temperature
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
1/3 cup Stevia In The Raw® Bakers Bag
2 teaspoons reduced-fat (2%) milk
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/2 cup confectioners’ sugar
1 teaspoon lemon juice
Preheat oven to 350° F. Drop paper liners into muffin tin with 12 cups.
In small bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder and soda, ground ginger, cinnamon, cloves, and salt.
In larger bowl, beat eggs, then whisk in Stevia In The Raw® until almost dissolved, 1 minute. Whisk in oil until mixture resembles creamy salad dressing. Add applesauce and molasses and whisk to combine. Mix in chopped ginger. Add dry ingredients and mix until batter is combined. Spoon batter into muffin tin, filling liners almost to top.
Bake for 20 minutes, until toothpick inserted into center comes out clean. Cool cupcakes in the tin for 2 minutes. Unmold and cool cupcakes completely on wire rack.
While cupcakes are baking, in mixing bowl, use hand mixer on medium speed to whip cream cheese and butter until blended and creamy, 2 minutes. In small bowl, whisk Stevia In The Raw® with milk and vanilla until smooth, 1 minute. Add to cream cheese mixture and beat until combined. Beat in confectioners’ sugar, then lemon juice.
Spread tops of cooled cupcakes with Vanilla Cream Cheese Frosting. If desired, add sprinkles or silver dragees for decoration. Serve immediately, or refrigerate for up to 8 hours. Let refrigerated cupcakes stand at room temperature for 20 minutes before serving.
* Cupcakes can be stored in airtight container for 24 hours, or wrapped individually in plastic wrap and frozen for up to 1 month.

3 large eggs
3 tablespoons Stevia In The Raw Bakers Bag
2 ½ cups milk
1/3 cup brandy
3/4 cup heavy cream
2 packets Stevia In The Raw
Freshly grated nutmeg
Fill large bowl one-third with ice. Pour in cold water to fill bowl two-thirds full. Set medium metal bowl by stove.
In heavy saucepan, whisk eggs. Add 3 Tbsp Stevia In The Raw and whisk until smooth. Pour in milk and set pot over medium heat.

Makes 6 Servings
2 pounds sweet potatoes
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 (8-ounce) can crushed pineapple, well drained
2 tablespoons Stevia In The Raw Bakers Bag
1/2 teaspoon salt
Freshly ground pepper
One package sugar-free marshmallows
Preheat the oven to 400° F. Coat an 8-inch square baking dish with cooking spray and set aside.
Bake the potatoes until they are soft, 45 to 60 minutes. When cool enough to handle, peel the potatoes and place the flesh in a mixing bowl.
Mash the potatoes, using a fork or, if the potatoes are fibrous, whirl them in a food processor. Add the butter and mix until blended. Mix in the pineapple, stevia, salt and pepper. Spread the potato mixture in the prepared baking dish, smoothing the top. Cover with marshmallows, arranging them ½-inch apart in one layer. (If desired, the dish can be covered, and refrigerated overnight; bring to room temperature before baking.)
Bake the casserole for 20-25 minutes, or until the marshmallows are brown and crusty.
Let sit for 15 minutes before serving.
