Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Sweet Potato Cake.
Step 1
Begin by preheating your oven to a cozy 350°F (175°C).
Step 2
To ensure your cake releases effortlessly, generously grease and flour a 10-inch Bundt or tube pan.
Step 3
In the bowl of a stand mixer, blend softened butter and Neufchâtel cheese until the mixture transforms into a velvety cream.
Step 4
Gradually introduce brown sugar and white sugar, beating until the blend is light and airy.
Step 5
Add the eggs one at a time, making sure each is fully incorporated before welcoming the next.
Step 6
Fold in the sweet potato puree, ensuring it melds beautifully with the other ingredients.
Step 7
In a separate bowl, whisk together cake flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and salt.
Step 8
Gently combine the dry ingredients with the sweet potato mixture, mixing just until incorporated to avoid overworking the batter.
Step 9
Stir in the vanilla extract, allowing its warmth to infuse the mixture.
Step 10
Pour the luscious batter into your prepared pan, smoothing the top with a spatula for an even bake.
Step 11
Place it in the preheated oven and let it bake for 75 to 85 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center emerges clean.
Step 12
Once baked to perfection, let the cake cool in the pan for 20 minutes before carefully inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 13
Enjoy the delightful aroma that fills your kitchen as this sweet creation comes to life!.
