Time 1h40m

Yield 16

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 cup milk
1 orange, zested and juiced
2 ½ cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting pans
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 tablespoon ground allspice
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
½ teaspoon sea salt
2 cups white sugar
1 cup salted butter, at room temperature
½ cup brown sugar
3 eggs, lightly beaten
2 ½ cups cooked, mashed sweet potatoes
1 tablespoon almond extract

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans; line bottoms with greased parchment paper.
  • Combine milk and 2 tablespoons orange juice in a bowl; set aside at room temperature for at least 10 minutes.
  • Mix orange zest, flour, baking powder, baking soda, allspice, cinnamon, and sea salt together in a bowl.
  • Beat white sugar, butter, and brown sugar together in a large bowl using an electric mixer on high speed until creamy. Reduce speed to low; slowly add 1/3 of the beaten eggs and mix until well incorporated. Repeat process until all eggs are added. Add sweet potatoes and almond extract; mix until smooth.
  • Stir flour mixture into butter mixture 1/3 at a time, alternating with milk-juice mixture. Beat on low speed until just incorporated. Divide batter evenly between prepared pans.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 35 to 45 minutes. Cool in pans for 10 minutes; invert onto rack to cool completely, about 15 minutes.

This cake is perfect for meal prep. I made a double batch and froze half of it. It reheats really well.

I didn't have any pecans on hand, so I used walnuts instead. They worked just as well.

The cake was a little dry. I think I should have used more frosting.

I had some trouble getting the cake to rise properly. I think I might have overmixed the batter.

This cake was a little too sweet for my taste, but it was still good. I think I would reduce the amount of sugar next time.
