Sweet Potato Pound Cake

Just made this. I did not use Mace. Very very good!


3 cups all purpose flour
2 tsps baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
1/4 tsp nutmeg
1/4 tsp mace (optional)
1/4 tsp cinnamon (optional)
1 cup unsalted butter (softened)
21/2 cups sweet potato (cooked mashed)
4 eggs
11/2 tsps vanilla
11/2 cups granulated sugar
1/4 cup light brown sugar (packed)
1 Cup of Chopped Pecans



Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Grease and dust with flour two 8 1/2 x 4 1/2 x 2 5/8 (larger) loaf pans.
Mix flour, baking powder, baking soda, nutmeg, mace, and cinnamon in a medium sized bowl.

In a large bowl, beat at high speed with electric mixer, unsalted butter, granulated sugar and brown sugar until light and fluffy.

At low speed, add sweet potato and eggs one at a time until well mixed.
Beat flour mixture into the sweet potato mixture.

Add vanilla and mix.
Pour batter into Bundt Pan.
Add Pecans evenly on top of mix. (You can always add more before you bake if you like them a lot)

Bake for approximately 45 – 55 minutes.

Serve warm or cold and can be frozen.
