Sweet Potato Pound Cake with Marshmallow Frosting image

This tender spice cake has flecks of sweet potatoes and is so moist that you can dig into it without any frosting. I, however, like a little dollop of sweetness. So, I add a bit of frosting directly on each warm slice. The frosting melts into the cake and it is fabulous. -Emma Chapman, Springfield, Missouri
