thanks to reading the reviews which I always do first, I used cake flour and will make the cream cheese frosting. I used another recipe for sweet potato casserole which included carrots for more sweetness. The cake came out moist and just a little bit sweet which is nice I don't like overly sweet cakes. The cream cheese frosting should help with that anyway, this ones a keeper.

I never would have thought that sweet potatoes could be used to make a cake - especially one as delicious as this one. I had leftover cooked sweet potatoes sitting around and was looking for something to do with them. Oh my goodness! I made it in a tube cake pan sprayed with oil and it came out great. I sent some in with my husband to work and everyone liked it. Thanks!

I made this cake today.Like others mentioned ..the batter was too thick for me to spread out.

Over all the cake came out real nice and moist. It tasted almost like a carrot cake and texture of a sponge cake. The cake however wasn't sweet enough even with the added glaze.

I will def make it again but will use cream cheese frosting the next time.

I even ran out of eggs and didn't have a bundt pan so I made into cupcakes and they were still excellent!

I tend to be the dessert lady at family functions, so I wanted to try something new before Thanksgiving. I LOVE sweet potatoes, so I decided to try this recipe and use the women at my church as guinea pigs. I am an amateur baker, so if you are like me, don't be discouraged by how thick the batter is. While making it I had to keep looking at the recipe to make sure I didn't leave out some wet ingredients. I did use wayyyy too much glaze. When I originally made the glaze, I thought it looked too stiff, so I added more orange juice. Well I should have paid attention to the instructions that said it makes a TIGHT glaze. The women at my church LOVED it and some even asked for the recipe. I thought it was ok...to be honest it kind of tasted like something was missing....then again, I didn't use the walnuts ( I don't like nuts maybe that's what it was. I will make it again though, but maybe tweak some of the spices.

to be honest, i was a little skeptical before making it -- the idea of a sweet potato cake just didn't seem good -- but it was a huge hit with the family. my husband loves it and sweet potato is NOT his thing. definitely will make again! the only thing was that i didn't see taste a difference by adding the glaze. but tastes great w/ or w/o it!

I took this recipe and cut it in half to make baby bundt cakes for Thanksgiving this year. The recipe was simple and delicious and a HUGE hit with my friends! The recipe may even become a tradition in my house for the holidays!
