Spiced Sweet Potato Bundt Cake Recipes

Steps:

• Special equipment: bundt pan
• Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.
• Lightly grease a 10-cup bundt pan.
• In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Set the mixture aside. In a separate large mixing bowl, mash the sweet potato, leaving only a slight meaty texture. Whisk together the sweet potato and the eggs. Whisk in the warm water, then the sugar, then the oil followed by the vanilla extract. Stir in the dry ingredients until homogenous then fold in raisins and walnuts. Spoon the batter into the prepared bundt pan. Bake until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean, about 1 hour. Let the cake cool in the tin for 15 minutes and invert onto a serving platter or cake stand.
• Melt the butter in a medium saucepan with the rum. Pull from the heat and whisk in the confectioners' sugar until smooth.
• Pour the glaze over the cooled cake. Slice and serve.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°. Butter and flour pan.
• In a medium pot, cover sweet potatoes with water. Bring to a boil; cook until potatoes are soft, about 15 minutes. Drain.
• Whisk together flour, sugar, baking soda, cinnamon, allspice, nutmeg, ginger, and salt in a bowl.
• Using a stand mixer fitted with paddle attachment, beat cooked sweet potatoes and eggs on medium speed until smooth. Add melted butter and beat until combined. Reduce speed to low, add flour mixture, and mix just until combined. Remove bowl from mixer and, with a wooden spoon, stir in chocolate chips. Spoon batter into prepared pan.
• Bake until a toothpick or skewer inserted into center of cake comes out clean, 40-50 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to let cool completely in pan, about 1 hour. Loosen cake from pan using tip of a dinner knife, then invert a rack over pan and turn cake out onto rack to cool.
• Drizzle with chocolate sauce before serving.

Steps:

• Make the cake: Adjust the oven rack to the center position and preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray a standard 10-cup (2.5-liter) Bundt pan with cooking spray.
• In a large bowl, stir together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and pumpkin pie spice. Set aside. In the bowl of a stand mixer, beat the oil and brown sugar on medium speed until light and fluffy. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each egg and scraping down the sides of the bowl. Add the vanilla and sweet potatoes and blend on low until thoroughly mixed. Gradually add the flour mixture and beat on low speed until just incorporated.
• Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the surface. Bake for 1 hour 15 minutes to 1 hour 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean and the edges start to pull away from the sides of the pan. Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then invert onto a rack and cool completely.
• Meanwhile, make the icing: In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Add the mascarpone, heavy cream, and sugar, then mix on low until uniform. Scrape down the sides if needed to ensure everything is getting mixed in. Add the vanilla bean seeds and the maple extract to the bowl. Mix to combine, then increase the speed and beat for 1 to 2 minutes, until the icing is nice and thick. Put the icing in an 18-inch (46-cm) pastry bag. Snip off the tip.
• When the cake is cool to the touch, use a back-and-forth motion to drizzle the top of the cake with the icing from the center to the outside and back again. Repeat until the entire cake is iced.
