Sweet potato pound cake

We naturally love sweet potatoes, but this sweet potato cake deserves to be a tradition in any home, whether you’re from the South, East, North or West. My Montana husband rancher loves it and I get great revues from ladies I’ve treated with it at various social events.


1 cup butter, softened
2 cups sugar
4 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
2 cups cold mashed sweet potatoes

1 cup confectioners’ sugar
1 teaspoon grated orange zest
3 to 5 teaspoons orange juice


In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in vanilla. Combine the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, baking soda, salt and nutmeg; add to creamed mixture alternately with sweet potatoes. Beat just until combined (batter will be stiff).
For glaze, in a small bowl, combine the confectioners’ sugar, orange zest and enough juice to achieve desired consistency. Drizzle over cake.
