Holiday Left-Over Sweet Potato Cake image

This recipe lets you use up left-over sweet potato. The cake is very moist, so you don't really need icing. Better yet, if you have left-over sweet potatoes from Thanksgiving, freeze them, and make this cake for Christmas. The whipped sweet potatoes I use already have some butter and sugar, so I only use 1 3/4 cups of sugar in the batter, but adjust the sugar amount to your liking.

Time 55m

Yield 15

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 ¾ cups white sugar
¾ cup vegetable oil
3 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups cooked, mashed sweet potatoes
2 cups all-purpose flour
3 teaspoons baking powder
2 teaspoons baking soda
¼ teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
½ cup beer

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking dish.
  • Stir together the sugar and vegetable oil in a large bowl until smooth. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla and sweet potatoes. Combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and cinnamon in a separate bowl; stir into the batter 1 cup at a time, alternating with the beer just until everything comes together. Spread the batter evenly in the prepared pan.
  • Bake for 35 minutes in the preheated oven, or until a knife inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. Cool completely before frosting or serving.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my cake didn't turn out as well as I expected. I'm not sure what went wrong.

The cake was a bit dry. I think I should have added more liquid.

This cake was a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll try reducing the amount of sugar next time.
