Sweet Potato Cake




Posted by Picasa

I wanted to make a chocolate chip pumpkin cake Duff style, but the store does not carry canned pumpkin in the summer. However, they do have fresh sweet potatoes. I microwaved two large sweet potatoes until they were soft, about seven minutes. Then I scoped out the fleshed, mashed with a fork, and then added them to the recipe below. They results were awesome, and it made an almost healthy cake even healthier.

1 yellow cake mix
15 oz. can pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie mix)

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a bundt pan with nonstick cooking spray.

Pour batter into prepared pan. Bake 35-45 minutes or until a knife inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean. Let cool 15 minutes. Dust with powdered sugar.
