SWEET POTATO CAKE WITH CREAM CHEESE ICING
I first tried this cake at a homemaker's luncheon. It was so moist and different I had to ask for the recipe. One of the ladies sent it to me just before Thanksgiving. I made it for our holiday dinner and it didn't last very long at all. My grandmother (she isnt a great cook , but is a great eater) loves it.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350°F Prepare 13x9 pan (I use pan spray).

- Fold in the nuts and coconut.
- Pour into pan and bake about 40 to 50 minutes or until cake test done.

- Frost cake.
- Sprinkle a bit of coconut or nuts on the frosting for garnish.
- This can be made a day ahead and kept tightly covered in refrigerator.
Tips:
- For the best results, use fresh sweet potatoes. If you're using canned sweet potatoes, be sure to drain and rinse them thoroughly before using.
- To make sure your cake is moist, don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the cake tough.
- If you don't have a bundt pan, you can use a 9x13 inch baking pan instead. Just be sure to adjust the baking time accordingly.
- The cream cheese icing is optional, but it really takes this cake to the next level. If you're short on time, you can use store-bought cream cheese frosting instead.
- This cake is best served fresh, but it can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
