Time 2h

Yield 14

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 cup butter, softened
2 cups white sugar
2 cups cooked and mashed sweet potatoes
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
4 eggs
3 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
½ teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
¼ teaspoon salt
1 cup sifted confectioners' sugar
5 teaspoons orange juice
2 tablespoons grated orange zest

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a 10-inch tube pan. Sift together flour, baking powder, cinnamon, baking soda, nutmeg and salt. Set aside.
  • In large mixing bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add mashed sweet potatoes and vanilla. Beat until well blended. Add eggs, one at a time (the batter will look curdled). Add flour mixture to potato mixture. Beat on low until combined.
  • Pour batter into 10 inch tube pan. Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for about 1 hour and 20 minutes, or until a wooden toothpick inserted into cake comes out clean. Cool cake for 20 minutes in the pan, then invert onto serving plate.
  • To make the glaze: in a small bowl, combine confectioners sugar with 3 to 5 teaspoons orange juice to achieve drizzling consistency. Spoon over warm cake and sprinkle with orange zest if desired.

I'm not sure I would have tried this cake if it wasn't for the sweet potato glaze. That's what really caught my eye.

I used a different glaze on the cake. I made a maple glaze instead of the sweet potato glaze. It was also very good.

I added a few spices to the cake batter, such as cinnamon and vanilla extract. It gave the cake a really nice flavor boost.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my cake was really dry. I followed the recipe exactly, but it just didn't come together. I'm disappointed because I was really looking forward to trying this cake.
