Hey Amy!

Why do they call it pound cake?  I already feel guilty about eating such a rich delicious cake, do they have to give it a name that implies I will gain pounds after eating it?  I want to call it rich cake so I will believe I will be rich after eating it!  This recipe is a nice twist on a traditional pound cake.

Ingredients:

3 c. + 6 Tbsp.  Swan’s Down Cake Flour
2 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. salt
1 1/2 tsp. cinnamon
1/4 tsp. nutmeg
1/4 tsp. mace
1 c. butter, softened
1 1/2 c. sugar
1/4 c. brown sugar
2 1/2 c. sweet potatoes, peeled, cooked and smashed
4 eggs
1 Tbsp. vanilla extract

Preheat oven to 350.  Whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and spices in a medium bowl.  Set aside.  Beat butter and sugars together until creamy.  Beat in sweet potatoes; add eggs, one at a time.  Add flour mixture 1/3 at a time on a low speed.  Beat in vanilla.  Spoon into a bundt pan sprayer with non-stick spray.  Bake for one hour.

You will welcome fall into your home with the aromas wafting from your oven while baking this ‘rich’ cake.  Enjoy!
