Sweet Potato Cake
Method
Instructions
Prepare the Sweet Potatoes
In a medium pot, boil the sweet potato cubes until tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain and mash until smooth. Let cool.
Preheat Oven
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
Mix Dry Ingredients
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
Combine Wet Ingredients
In another bowl, beat the eggs, oil, and vanilla extract. Add the cooled mashed sweet potatoes and mix until smooth.
Combine Mixtures
Gradually add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined.
Bake the Cake
Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Cool the Cakes
Once baked, remove from the oven and let cool in the pans for 10 minutes. Then transfer to wire racks to cool completely.
Serve
Serve slices of sweet potato cake topped with caramel crunch ice cream and drizzled with caramel sauce.
