Description

A moist, fluffy, and rich sweet potato butter cake recipe that blends the natural sweetness of sweet potatoes with creamy butter for a comforting dessert.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups cooked sweet potato puree
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 1/4 cups granulated sugar
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup buttermilk

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×13 inch baking pan.
  2. In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. Cream butter and sugar together until light and fluffy.
  4. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract.
  5. Mix in sweet potato puree until combined.
  6. Alternately add the dry ingredients and buttermilk to the wet mixture, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
  7. Pour batter into prepared pan and smooth the top.
  8. Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  9. Allow cake to cool in pan before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • Roast sweet potatoes instead of boiling to enhance sweetness.
  • Use room temperature ingredients for a better texture.
  • Do not overmix the batter to avoid a dense cake.
  • Store at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for longer shelf life.
