WORLD'S BEST SWEET POTATO POUND CAKE
Sweet potatoes during the holidays are a must in our household. This time I decided to do something different other than a casserole or a pie. I used white sweet potatoes, but any sweet potatoes will do. You can eat this cake plain, topped with whipped cream, or topped with a glaze. Either way, this pound cake is delicious!

SWEET POTATO POUND CAKE WITH MARSHMALLOW FROSTING
This tender spice cake has flecks of sweet potatoes and is so moist that you can dig into it without any frosting. I, however, like a little dollop of sweetness. So, I add a bit of frosting directly on each warm slice. The frosting melts into the cake and it is fabulous. -Emma Chapman, Springfield, Missouri

Steps:

- In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt.
- Set aside.

- Add the sugar gradually, about 1/2 cup at a time, beating well after each addition.
- Add the eggs, 1 at a time, beating well after each addition.
- Add the sweet potatoes and mix until thoroughly combined.
- Reduce the speed to low or switch to a wooden spoon and gradually add the flour mixture to the creamed mixture in 3 additions, beating well after each addition.
- The batter should be stiff.
- Add the vanilla, pecans and, if desired, the coconut.

Tips:
- Mise en place: Before you start baking, make sure you have all the ingredients and equipment you need. This will help you stay organized and ensure that you don't miss anything.
- Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: The quality of your ingredients will greatly affect the taste of your pound cake. Use fresh sweet potatoes, molasses, and butter for the best flavor.
- Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing can make the cake tough. Mix the batter just until the ingredients are combined.
- Bake the cake in a preheated oven: This will help the cake rise evenly and prevent it from sinking in the middle.
- Don't overbake the cake: Overbaking can make the cake dry. Check the cake for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center. If it comes out clean, the cake is done.
- Let the cake cool completely before frosting: This will help the frosting set properly.
Conclusion:
Sweet potato pound cake with molasses cream is a delicious and unique twist on the classic pound cake. The sweet potatoes add a moist, dense texture and a subtle sweetness, while the molasses cream adds a rich, flavorful topping. This cake is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
