Seasonal Potluck: Sweet Potato Bundt Cake

November 9, 2011 By betsy 5 Comments

Sweet Potato Bundt Cake

You guys should know by now that I love me a bundt! Bundt is such a hilarious word, and a cute shaped cake. Not to mention how fun it is to just spill the icing on the top instead of having to spread it on and try to make it look even. I’m going to ask for a mini bundt pan for Christmas to double up on the cuteness factor. I hadn’t busted out the ol’ regular-sized bundt pan in a while, so I thought sweet potato month would be the perfect excuse. This cake really took me off guard in terms of its moistness and deliciousness.  It actually tasted a lot like carrot cake, so The Hubs was in heaven. I was in heaven because there was rum in it! Yummy.

    Sweet potato cake with rum glaze-heavenly. I love bundt cakes and have never seen the single flavor of sweet potato in one. I like that it is so purist, the flavor stands alone with the exception of the glaze-well done!

    How unique! I don’t think I’ve ever had a sweet potato cake before, much less one w/ a rum glaze. Looks awesome.

    Does it matter whether you use sweet potatoes or yams. And if yams should they be the real dark orange kind?

      I don’t think it matters, but let me know what you choose in case anyone asks me in the future!
