Method
Preparation Steps
- 1
Prepare the Sweet Potatoes
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Peel and chop the sweet potatoes into chunks, then boil them in salted water until tender. Drain and mash the sweet potatoes until smooth. Let them cool.

Make the Roll Batter
In a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed sweet potatoes, eggs, melted butter, vanilla extract, and brown sugar. Mix until well combined. In another bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and ground cinnamon. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture until just combined.

Bake the Sweet Potato Roll
Spread the batter evenly onto a greased baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until the edges are golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Prepare the Cream Cheese Filling
In a separate bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add in the powdered sugar, mixing until creamy and well combined.

Assemble the Roll
Once the sweet potato roll is baked and slightly cooled, carefully flip it onto a clean kitchen towel dusted with powdered sugar. Spread the cream cheese filling evenly over the top, then roll the cake tightly using the towel as a guide. Wrap the roll in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to set.
