Time 1h50m

Yield 16

Number Of Ingredients 14

3 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking soda
2 teaspoons baking powder
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
2 teaspoons ground nutmeg
½ teaspoon salt
1 ½ cups butter
1 ½ cups white sugar
3 eggs
½ cup molasses
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
3 cups cooked mashed sweet potatoes
1 ½ cups sweetened dried cranberries (such as Craisins®)
1 cup chopped walnuts

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round baking pans.
  • Sift flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt together in a bowl.
  • Beat butter and sugar together in a separate large bowl with an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Beat one egg at a time into the butter mixture; add molasses and vanilla extract with last egg. Add sweet potatoes, cranberries, and walnuts; mix until batter is thoroughly combined. Gradually beat flour mixture into batter until thoroughly combined. Pour batter into prepared baking pans.
  • Bake in preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 1 hour 10 minutes. Cool in the pans for 10 minutes before turning out onto wire rack to cool completely.

The cake was a little dry, but the flavor was good. I think I would add more moisture next time, maybe some applesauce or yogurt.
