VEGAN SWEET POTATO CAKE
This sweet potato cake smells like autumn thanks to cinnamon and cloves, and just happens to be vegan. There aren't any hard-to-find ingredients here, just sweet potato, sugar, flour, oil, and spices. The secret to the depth of flavor might be the coffee, but the end result does not taste like a coffee-flavored cake.

- 6. While the cake is resting in the pan; in a medium bowl combine the confectioners' sugar, 2 tablespoons orange juice and orange zest. Stir well to combine and make a tight glaze, adding more orange juice 1/2 teaspoon at a time to achieve a pourable consistency.

Tips:
- Use ripe, firm sweet potatoes for the best flavor and texture. - Peel and grate the sweet potatoes before baking them. This will help reduce the cooking time and ensure they are evenly cooked. - Don't over-bake the sweet potatoes. They should be tender but still hold their shape. - Use a food processor or blender to puree the sweet potatoes until smooth. - If you don't have a food processor or blender, you can mash the sweet potatoes by hand. Just be sure to mash them until they are very smooth. - Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients gradually, mixing until just combined. Over-mixing will result in a tough cake. - Bake the cake in a greased and floured 9-inch round cake pan for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. - Let the cake cool completely before frosting. This will help prevent the frosting from melting. - Frost the cake with your favorite vegan frosting. Cream cheese frosting, chocolate ganache, or whipped coconut cream are all great options. - Decorate the cake with fresh fruit, sprinkles, or vegan chocolate chips.Conclusion:
