Sweet Potato Pound Cake image

I can't remember where this recipe came from but I have been making it for years. I just love it. I have also tried baking this in a metal coffee can. Adding walnuts to this is also an option but I usually leave then out. It makes two (large) loaves.

This cake was a disappointment. It was dry and tasteless, and the frosting was too sweet. I would not recommend this cake to anyone.

This cake was easy to make and turned out great! The only thing I would change is to use less sugar in the frosting. It was a little too sweet for my taste.
