Ingredients

  • 1 cup (2 sticks) butter, softened, plus butter for pan
  • 1/2 cup firmly packed brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup chopped pecans
  • 1 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 2 cups sugar
  • 3 large eggs
  • 12 ounces sour cream
  • 1 cup mashed cooked sweet potato (about 1 medium)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • Rum Glaze, recipe follows

Directions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Butter and flour a 12-cup Bundt pan.

In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar, pecans, and cinnamon; set aside.

In a large bowl, combine the 1 cup of butter and sugar. Beat at medium speed with an electric mixer until creamy. Beat in the eggs, 1 at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the sour cream, sweet potatoes, and vanilla.

In a medium bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, salt, and nutmeg. Gradually add it to the butter mixture, stirring well.

Pour half of sweet potato batter into prepared pan. Sprinkle evenly with the brown sugar mixture. Spoon the remaining batter evenly over the streusel. Bake until a tester inserted in center comes out clean, about 1 hour. Remove the cake from the oven and cool. Spoon the Rum Glaze over cooled cake, slice and serve.

Rum Glaze:

  • 2 cups confectioners' sugar
  • 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 3/4 teaspoon rum extract
  • Pecans, for garnish

In a small bowl, whisk together all of the ingredients until smooth.

    I made it for Thanksgiving and Christmas, instead of Rum extract I substituted white rum and oured it over the cake while still warm. It made the cake super moist!!

    What an awful recipe. This year I made this cake without testing it before Thanksgiving. It was as heavy as two or three bricks tied together. It did NOT cook through at all well. I baked it an extra 15 minutes until the toothpick came out clean. What a waste of time and ingredients. Last year I made a fig cake out of Paula's magazine (collaboration with John Besh which called for what seemed like too much baking powder but I went with it for some stupid reason, it exploded in my oven! I figured it was a typo.. I'm done with trying Paula's recipes. Very unfortunate.
