Sweet Potato Coffee Cake image

Moist, easy and unusual coffee cake with a chopped nut topping. Sweet potatoes add a delicate tint to the cake and a sweet creaminess. Not noticeably sweet potato flavored (unless you add additional chunks to it like I do!). From about.com's southern food recipe collection but modified to reduce fat and increase fiber.

Time 1h30m

Yield 10 cups, 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 17

2/3 cup nonfat yogurt (or applesauce, originally melted butter)
3/4 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla (original called for 1 tsp)
1 cup nonfat sour cream
3/4 cup cooked mashed sweet potatoes (I increase this to 1 C and increase the flour by about 2 T. Also have stirred in 1/2 C small chunks )
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup quick-cooking oats
1/2 cup whole wheat flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup chopped pecans
1/2 cup light brown sugar, firmly packed
1/2 cup all-purpose flour (I add 1/4 C oats and decrease flour to 1/4 C)
1 tablespoon butter (original calls for 3 T)
2 teaspoons vanilla

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 325°.
  • Grease a 9 to 10-inch springform pan .
  • In mixing bowl, combine butter, sugar, eggs, and vanilla; add sour cream and mashed sweet potatoes.
  • In large mixing bowl, combine flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Stir first mixture into the flour mixture, stirring just until blended (if using additional sweet potato chunks add now).
  • Spread batter in prepared pan. Combine topping ingredients until crumbly and sprinkle over the batter.
  • Bake coffee cake for about 1 hour to 1 hour and 10 minutes, or until a wooden toothpick inserted near center comes out clean (I baked at 350 for 45 minutes and it was perfect). Let cool, loosen edges, and remove sides of pan.
