Best Sweet Potato Cake
Ingredients
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened, plus additional for greasing bundt pan
  • 3 cups cake flour, plus more for dusting
  • 1 (8 ounce) package Neufchatel cheese, softened
  • 1 1/2 cups brown sugar
  • 1 1/2 cups sugar
  • 4 eggs, at room temperature
  • 2 1/2 cups sweet potatoes, baked, cooled, and pureed
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius).
2
To prepare the pan, lightly spray it with non-stick cooking spray and dust it evenly with all-purpose flour.
3
In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to cream together softened butter and Neufchâtel cheese until smooth. Gradually add granulated sugar and continue mixing until light and airy.
4
Add one egg at a time to the mixture, beating thoroughly after each addition. Mix in sweet potato puree until it's fully incorporated.
5
In a separate bowl, whisk together cake flour, baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, ground ginger, and salt.
6
Slowly pour the dry ingredients into the sweet potato mixture, mixing until everything is well combined.
7
Add a few drops of vanilla extract to the batter and mix until smooth.
8
Transfer the batter to your prepared baking pan.
9
Bake in a preheated oven for 75 to 85 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
10
Once done, remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 20 minutes.
11
Turn the cake out onto a wire rack and allow it to cool completely before serving.
