SWEET POTATO CAKE WITH CREAM CHEESE ICING



Sweet Potato Cake With Cream Cheese Icing image

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.

Time 55m

Yield 12-16 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 box white cake mix
1 (3 1/2 ounce) box vanilla instant pudding mix
1 1/4 cups water
1 cup mashed sweet potatoes (may be fresh or canned..if fresh needs to be cooked soft)
1/4 cup vegetable oil
2 large eggs
2 teaspoons cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon clove
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 cup chopped nuts (walnuts or pecans..optional..or maybe reduced to 1/2 cup)
1 cup shredded coconut
1 can ready to spread vanilla frosting
3 ounces cream cheese, softened
2 teaspoons vanilla

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F Prepare 13x9 pan (I use pan spray).
  • In a large mixing bowl, mix all cake ingredients except nuts and coconut.
  • Mix at low speed until moistened, then beat 3 minutes at high speed.
  • Fold in the nuts and coconut.
  • Pour into pan and bake about 40 to 50 minutes or until cake test done.
  • Let cake cool.
  • To make frosting:
  • mix all ingredients well with electric mixer until the frosting is smooth.
  • 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.

Conclusion:

This sweet potato cake with cream cheese icing is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that's perfect for any occasion. It's moist, flavorful, and sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. So next time you're looking for a sweet treat, give this cake a try.
