Ingredients
Cake:
-
2 cups white sugar
-
1 cup butter, softened
-
2 cups cooked and mashed sweet potatoes
-
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
-
4 large eggs
-
3 cups all-purpose flour
-
2 teaspoons baking powder
-
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
-
½ teaspoon baking soda
-
½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
-
¼ teaspoon salt
Glaze:
-
1 cup sifted confectioners' sugar
-
5 teaspoons orange juice
Garnish:
-
2 tablespoons grated orange zest
Directions
-
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a 10-inch tube or Bundt pan.
-
Make cake: Cream sugar and butter in a large bowl with an electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy. Mix in mashed sweet potatoes and vanilla until well blended. Add eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Sift together flour, baking powder, cinnamon, baking soda, nutmeg, and salt in a separate bowl; beat into potato mixture on low speed until combined. Pour batter into the prepared pan.
-
Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the cake comes out clean, about 1 hour and 20 minutes. Cool cake for 20 minutes in the pan, then invert onto a serving plate.
-
Make glaze: Stir together confectioners' sugar with 3 to 5 teaspoons orange juice in a small bowl until a drizzling consistency is reached.
-
Spoon glaze over warm cake and sprinkle with orange zest.
