SWEET POTATO COFFEE CAKE



Sweet Potato Coffee Cake image

I found a recipe for an acorn squash streusel cake and had very little of the ingredients on hand, so I used it as a base recipe--but changed it so much that it became an original. It is rich and flavorful, so a small piece is enough. It has a heavy texture that is nice. Let cool or eat warm with a cup of coffee.

SWEET POTATO COFFEE CAKE



Sweet Potato Coffee Cake image

Moist, easy and unusual coffee cake with a chopped nut topping. Sweet potatoes add a delicate tint to the cake and a sweet creaminess. Not noticeably sweet potato flavored (unless you add additional chunks to it like I do!). From about.com's southern food recipe collection but modified to reduce fat and increase fiber.
