SWEET POTATO ROLL CAKE
Pumpkin isn't the only orange vegetable to make a lot of appearances during the fall season. Sweet potato is just as vibrant and flavorful and can be used in many similar ways -- like in this sponge cake that has a bit of bourbon in the batter and cream cheese frosting. A true sponge cake is one with no added fat and gets its volume from whipping eggs until very thick. The sponginess of the cake allows for it to be rolled up while still warm to create a dessert that looks a little different from all the rest of them. In this recipe, some of the cake batter is thickened with flour to pipe the words "Grateful" on the outside, however, any design of choice can be made.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Spray a 10-by-15-inch jelly roll pan with cooking spray then line with parchment paper. Using a food safe marker, write the word "Grateful" directly in the center, widthwise, of the parchment. Flip the parchment over so that you can see the word, but it will be backwards.
- Make the cake: Process the sweet potato in a food processor until very smooth. Transfer to a small bowl and set aside.
- Whisk together the baking powder, cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, 1 cup flour and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a medium bowl.
- Add the granulated sugar and eggs to a large bowl and beat with an electric mixer on medium-high until the eggs are very light and fluffy, about 5 minutes. Add the sweet potato, bourbon and lemon extract and mix to combine. Fold in the flour mixture with a rubber spatula until just combined.
- Remove 1/4 cup of the batter to a medium bowl and stir in the molasses, gel food coloring and the remaining 3 tablespoons flour until smooth. Transfer to a pastry bag fitted with a small round tip and trace "Grateful" on the parchment with the batter. Freeze the pan until the batter is hardened, about 10 minutes (alternatively, refrigerate for 20 minutes).
- Quickly spread the batter in the bowl over the traced word and bake until the cake springs back when touched and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 14 to 16 minutes.
- Lay a clean tea towel on a flat work surface and lightly dust with confectioners' sugar. Carefully flip the cake out onto a wire rack and remove the parchment. Flip the cake back over onto the towel so that the word is facing down. Starting at the short end, roll the cake up with the towel and let cool completely on a wire rack (still wrapped in the towel), about 1 hour.
- Meanwhile, make the frosting: Beat the cream cheese, butter and orange zest in a medium bowl with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until smooth and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Reduce the speed to low, then slowly mix in the confectioners' sugar until smooth and combined. Add the bourbon just to combine.
- Whip the heavy cream in a separate medium bowl with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until stiff peaks form, 2 to 3 minutes. Gently fold into the cream cheese mixture until just combined.
- Unroll the cake from the towel and, with the word-side down, spread the frosting over the top of the cake. Roll the cake back up, without the towel, and trim the ends so they are clean. Transfer the cake to a serving platter with the seam-side down. Decorate the platter with autumn sprinkles, if desired.
SWEET POTATO PIE
Custardy and classic, this easy pie shows off the earthy richness of sweet potatoes with a little butter and a blend of warming spices. Be sure to start with good-looking spuds-firm and speckle-free. As they bake, they'll caramelize a bit. Because sweet potatoes vary in sweetness, I have you taste the filling before beating in the eggs to see if you want a touch more sugar.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Put the sweet potatoes on a foil-lined half-sheet pan. Bake, turning once, until very tender, 1 1/2 to 2 hours. When cool enough to handle, take the sweet potatoes out of their jackets and scrape the flesh into a 1-quart measuring cup. You should have 2 1/2 cups packed sweet potato.
- Raise the oven temperature to 425 degrees F.
- Line the frozen dough with foil and fill with pie weights. Bake until dry and set, about 25 minutes. Remove the foil with the weights and bake the dough until golden brown, about 5 minutes longer. Let cool completely, then place on a half-sheet pan.
- Transfer the sweet potato to a large bowl and add the cinnamon, ginger, allspice, nutmeg, salt, butter, brown sugar, and the evaporated milk. Beat with a heavy whisk until smooth. Taste and add more brown sugar if you'd like. The amount will depend on the sweetness of your spuds. Add the eggs and whisk until fully incorporated. Pour into the pie crust and spread evenly.
- Bake for 15 minutes, then reduce the oven temperature to 350 degrees F. Bake until the top is golden brown and the filling has puffed and set, about 40 minutes. If the crust browns too quickly, cover it with foil and continue baking. Let cool completely on a wire rack.
- Dissolve the sugar and salt in 1/3 cup water and chill until cold.
- Pulse the flour and butter in a stand mixer until the mixture looks like coarse meal with some pea-size pieces. Add the water all at once and mix until the dough almost forms a ball. Divide the dough in half and flatten into two disks.
- Wrap each disk tightly in plastic wrap and chill until firm, at least 30 minutes or up to 3 days. You can freeze the dough for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator before rolling.
Tips:
- Choose the right sweet potatoes: Use firm, brightly colored sweet potatoes for the best flavor and texture.
- Roast the sweet potatoes until they are very tender: This will ensure that they are easy to mash and will give the pie filling a smooth, creamy texture.
- Use a food processor to make the sweet potato puree: This will give you the smoothest, most consistent puree possible.
- Let the sweet potato puree cool completely before using it in the pie filling: This will help to prevent the pie filling from becoming too runny.
- Use a combination of spices in the pie filling: This will add depth and complexity of flavor to the pie.
- Don't overmix the pie filling: Overmixing can make the pie filling tough.
- Bake the pie until the crust is golden brown and the filling is set: This will take about 45-50 minutes.
- Let the pie cool completely before serving: This will allow the flavors to meld and the pie to set properly.
Conclusion:
This sweet potato pie cake roll is a delicious and unique dessert that is perfect for any occasion. The combination of sweet potato, spices, and cream cheese makes for a flavorful and satisfying dessert that is sure to please everyone. With a little planning and effort, you can easily make this pie cake roll at home. So next time you are looking for a special dessert, give this sweet potato pie cake roll a try.
