Sweet Potato Pound Cake... yummm!



My copy of Country Living Magazine came this week and I found a really tasty recipe using Sweet Potatoes to make  pound cake.  
I had to try it! 

(please excuse the drip marks on the page, things got messy)


The recipe was easy. The only thing that took a bit of time was cooking the sweet potato since I did not have any left over in the fridge.




 The only changes I made to this recipe was a sugar drizzle on top after it was baked and cooled.  Although I love Pecans my family does not. So I left them off. The next time I make this cake I think I'll make it for me and add the pecans chopped and folded into the batter.. that would really make me smile.

 This was indeed a pound cake since the batter was very dry and heavy.


It was a hit!

Before anyone could devour my cake I sent a piece to one of my neighbors. He is a senior and lives alone so I'm always sending what ever new food  I might bake or cook over to him.

After the pound cake was finished I went out to run some errands, was gone about an hour or so and this is what I came home to.

It looks very yummy! I love sweet potatoes and think they'd be delicious in a pound cake - must have a look at this!

This looks scrumptious and I can see your family thought so too.

Hi Sandy, oh, phooey, I just gave away all of my sweet potatoes, now I see this recipe...oh, well, there's always next year and I AM trying to lose weight, lol.

I had such a fun time going back through some of your older posts, too. The closet remodel was amazing, I've said this before and I'll say it again, I wish you lived closer. You could help me remodel this teeny hut. As always, very inspirational and professionally done!
