Ingredients

Cake

4 8-ounce red-skinned sweet potatoes (yams)

Nonstick vegetable oil spray

2 3/4 cups all purpose flour

2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

1 1/4 teaspoons ground ginger

1 teaspoon baking powder

1 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon salt

2 cups sugar

1 cup vegetable oil

4 large eggs

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Glaze

1/2 cup unsalted butter

4 tablespoons pure maple syrup or honey.

4 tablespoons whipping cream

9 tablespoons powdered sugar, sifted

Sweet potato cream:

1 ½ cups sweet potato, mashed

2 tbsp powder sugar

4 tbsp heavy cream

¾ cup heavy cream

2 tbsp powder sugar

Directions

For cake:

Pierce sweet potatoes with fork and boil for 20 minutes until tender. Cool, peel and mash sweet potatoes.

Position rack in center of oven; preheat to 325°F. Spray a 26 square cake pan with nonstick spray, cover with parchment, then generously butter pan.

Sift flour, cinnamon, ginger, baking powder, baking soda and salt into medium bowl. Measure enough mashed sweet potatoes to equal 2 cups. Transfer to large bowl. Add sugar and oil to sweet potatoes; using electric mixer, beat until smooth. Add eggs 2 at a time, beating well after each addition. Add flour mixture; beat just until blended. Beat in vanilla. Transfer batter to prepared pan. Bake cake until tester inserted near center comes out clean, about 1 hour 15 minutes. Cool cake in pan on rack 15 minutes. Using small knife, cut around sides of pan and center tube to loosen cake. Turn out onto rack; cool completely and pierce with a fork.

For glaze:

Melt butter with maple syrup and cream in heavy small saucepan. Remove from heat. Add powdered sugar and whisk until smooth. Cool glaze until slightly thickened and drizzle over pound cake.

Sweet potato cream:

Mix the sweet potato, sugar and cream in a food processor and process until smooth. In a large bowl, whip the cream and sugar until soft peaks form. Fold in the sweet potato mixture until combined. Fill a piping bag fitted with a thin rounded nozzle with the mixture and make decorative pattern on top of the cake.

I love the maple syrup glaze on this sweet potato cake. The piping reminds me of a maze which is part of the word Amazement which describes the feeling I have when I view one of your cakes.

Somehow this one slipped by me, Ahmed - glad I stumbled upon it, because I share the thought that this would be so great for our Thanksgiving holiday here in the US. I will forego the usual sweet potato praline casserole this year for this cake - it is printed out and ready to go (I may have to do a trial run first!). What a delightful, beautiful, rich looking cake - I am certain it will become a new family "love"...that glaze with the sweet potato cream is just perfect! THanks again, Ahmed, for sharing yet another of your creations that make our hearts stop momentarily while we browse through all your wonderful step-by-step pictures!!!
