I have made sweet potato pie but I have never heard of sweet potato cake. Do you have a recipe to share?
What we have here is sweet potato cake. When we vacationed in the northern province of Batanes last month, there was a restaurant in the most expensive hotel (that we visited but we were not booked there). In their menu was a sweet potato bread. I thought it was an ordinary bread but it turned out like muffin and my husband said it's actually cake. I am curious about that potato cake. I don't have the slightest idea how it tastes and how it is made.
SWEET POTATO CAKE 1 cup butter 1 cup packed brown sugar 1 cup white sugar 4 eggs 1 tablespoon vanilla extract 1 1/2 cups self rising flour 2 cups mashed sweet potatoes In a large bowl cream the butter and sugars until smooth. beat in the eggs and vanilla. Stir in the flour then the sweet potatoes. Pour into a greased 9x13 pan. Bake ate 375F for about 30 minutes. Note: This cake is so sweet and moist it doesn't need icing but I usually make a powdered sugar icing to top it.
That sounds so tasty, Sheldon, and I like your note about the frosting . And, just in case anyone wants to make it, but only has all purpose flour (note this conversation is per cup) To make 1 cup of self rising flour: 1 cup of all purpose flour. 1 1/2 tsp baking powder. 1/2 tsp salt. mix well
I am going to make this next week Sheldon. Thanks for posting the recipe. I have to go to my brothers for a day, so I will take a cake.
The recipe sounds very sweet. I like sweet potato and I usually bake them with the skins on for a sweet treat. I've heard of sweet potato pie and now sweet potato cake. I hope they have this in the stores some day soon. I haven't seen any yet in the stores I shop at. Thanks for the recipe!
