Steps:
- Special equipment: bundt pan
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.
- Lightly grease a 10-cup bundt pan.

Whisk together the sweet potato and the eggs. Whisk in the warm water, then the sugar, then the oil followed by the vanilla extract. Stir in the dry ingredients until homogenous then fold in raisins and walnuts. Spoon the batter into the prepared bundt pan. Bake until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean, about 1 hour. Let the cake cool in the tin for 15 minutes and invert onto a serving platter or cake stand.

- Pour the glaze over the cooled cake. Slice and serve.
MOM'S FAMOUS RUM CAKE
This classic rum cake recipe, built around a yellow cake mix, is a favorite of mushers and snowmobilers passing through the village of Tanana, Alaska, in the wintertime. It's hard to mess up, comes together quickly, fills out a (prepared) Bundt pan reliably and can be made on a whim with ingredients from the pantry. It travels well; keeps, covered, for several days; and pairs nicely with coffee and cold weather.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 9-inch Bundt cake pan, scatter the nuts evenly into the bottom of the pan, and set aside.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the cake mix, pudding mix, eggs, water, oil and rum. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 40 to 45 minutes, or until a skewer inserted into the thickest part of the cake comes out with just a few crumbs attached.
- While the cake bakes, make the glaze: In a small saucepan, combine the butter, sugar, rum and water. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves. Reduce heat to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes, then remove from heat.
- When the cake is done, remove from the oven and let cool 5 minutes, then invert onto a serving plate. Using a skewer or a fork, poke holes all over the top and sides of the cake, then brush the entire cake with the glaze, repeating until all the glaze is gone. Serve warm or at room temperature. Cake keeps (and improves, some say), wrapped and refrigerated, up to 3 days.

Tips:
- Use a medium grater to grate the sweet potatoes. This will help them release their moisture and blend well with the other ingredients.
- If you don't have a food processor, you can mash the sweet potatoes by hand. Just make sure they are very smooth.
- Be careful not to overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the cake tough.
- Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. This should take about 50-55 minutes.
- Let the cake cool completely before frosting it. This will help the frosting set properly.
- When making the frosting, be sure to use unsalted butter. Salted butter can make the frosting too salty.
- If the frosting is too thick, you can add a little milk or cream to thin it out.
- To make the rum drizzle, simply combine rum and water in a small bowl. You can adjust the amount of rum to taste.
Conclusion:
This sweet potato rum cake is a delicious and moist cake that is perfect for any occasion. The sweet potatoes give the cake a unique flavor and texture, and the butter rum frosting is the perfect finishing touch. If you are looking for a new cake recipe to try, I highly recommend this one.
