Time 1h50m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 large sweet potato, peeled and cut into chunks
1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
1 cup white sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
2 eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
¾ cup butter
½ cup pumpkin seeds
½ cup brown sugar
3 large ripe bananas, mashed
½ cup golden raisins

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 5x8-inch baking dish.
  • Place sweet potato into a large pot and cover with water; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until tender, about 20 minutes. Drain and mash sweet potato until smooth.
  • Sift flour, white sugar, and baking powder together in a large bowl. Whisk eggs and vanilla extract together in another large bowl.
  • Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat; cook and stir pumpkin seeds and brown sugar in hot butter until brown sugar is melted, 1 to 2 minutes. Stir bananas and mashed sweet potato into pumpkin seed mixture. Remove from heat and cool slightly.
  • Stir banana mixture into egg mixture until well-combined. Pour banana-egg mixture into flour mixture and stir until batter is just combined; stir in raisins. Pour into prepared baking dish.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean, about 1 hour.

I'm not a huge fan of banana cake, but this one was really good. The sweet potato added a nice twist and the cream cheese frosting was perfect.

The recipe was easy to follow and the cake turned out perfectly. I used a bundt pan and it came out beautifully. The cake was moist and flavorful, and the cream cheese frosting was the perfect touch.
