I'm allergic to nuts, so I substituted chopped pecans with chopped walnuts. It turned out great!

This cake is too sweet for my taste. I would reduce the amount of sugar next time.

This cake was delicious! The sweet potato flavor was subtle and not overpowering. I frosted it with a cream cheese frosting and it was perfect.
