A moist and flavorful sweet potato cake topped with a honey glaze and crunchy pecans.

Ingredients

Scale

For the Crust:

  • 2 cups mashed sweet potatoes
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
  • 1/2 cup chopped pecans
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda

Instructions

1. Prepare the Crust:

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch round cake pan.
  2. In a large bowl, mix mashed sweet potatoes, granulated sugar, brown sugar, oil, eggs, and vanilla until well combined.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the sweet potato mixture, stirring until just combined.
  5. Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  6. While the cake is baking, warm the honey slightly for easier drizzling.
  7. Once the cake is done, remove from oven and immediately drizzle with honey and sprinkle with chopped pecans.
  8. Allow the cake to cool for 10 minutes before serving.
