Sweet Potato Pound Cake image

Since we are originally from Texas, we naturally love sweet potatoes, but this sweet potato cake deserves to be a tradition in any home, whether you're from the South, East, North or West. My Montana husband rancher loves it and I get great revues from ladies I've treated with it at various social events. - Diane Mannix, Helmville, Montana
