Sweet Potato Roll Cake Recipes

Steps:

• Line a greased 15x10x1-in. baking pan with waxed paper and grease the paper; set aside. In a bowl, beat eggs on high speed for 5 minutes. Gradually beat in sugar until thick and lemon-colored. Add sweet potatoes; mix well. Combine flour and cinnamon; fold into sweet potato mixture. Spread into pan., Bake at 350° for 10-15 minutes or until cake springs back when lightly touched. Cool for 5 minutes; invert cake onto a kitchen towel dusted with confectioners' sugar. Gently peel off waxed paper. Roll up cake in the towel jelly-roll style, starting with a short side. Cool on a wire rack., For filling, in a bowl, beat cream cheese, confectioners' sugar, butter and vanilla until fluffy. Fold in nuts. Unroll cake; spread filling evenly over cake to within 1/2 in. of edges. Roll up again, without towel. Cover and refrigerate until serving. Dust with confectioners' sugar if desired.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Spray a 10-by-15-inch jelly roll pan with cooking spray then line with parchment paper. Using a food safe marker, write the word "Grateful" directly in the center, widthwise, of the parchment. Flip the parchment over so that you can see the word, but it will be backwards.
• Make the cake: Process the sweet potato in a food processor until very smooth. Transfer to a small bowl and set aside.
• Whisk together the baking powder, cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, 1 cup flour and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a medium bowl.
• Add the granulated sugar and eggs to a large bowl and beat with an electric mixer on medium-high until the eggs are very light and fluffy, about 5 minutes. Add the sweet potato, bourbon and lemon extract and mix to combine. Fold in the flour mixture with a rubber spatula until just combined.
• Remove 1/4 cup of the batter to a medium bowl and stir in the molasses, gel food coloring and the remaining 3 tablespoons flour until smooth. Transfer to a pastry bag fitted with a small round tip and trace "Grateful" on the parchment with the batter. Freeze the pan until the batter is hardened, about 10 minutes (alternatively, refrigerate for 20 minutes).
• Quickly spread the batter in the bowl over the traced word and bake until the cake springs back when touched and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 14 to 16 minutes.
• Lay a clean tea towel on a flat work surface and lightly dust with confectioners' sugar. Carefully flip the cake out onto a wire rack and remove the parchment. Flip the cake back over onto the towel so that the word is facing down. Starting at the short end, roll the cake up with the towel and let cool completely on a wire rack (still wrapped in the towel), about 1 hour.
• Meanwhile, make the frosting: Beat the cream cheese, butter and orange zest in a medium bowl with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until smooth and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Reduce the speed to low, then slowly mix in the confectioners' sugar until smooth and combined. Add the bourbon just to combine.
• Whip the heavy cream in a separate medium bowl with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until stiff peaks form, 2 to 3 minutes. Gently fold into the cream cheese mixture until just combined.
• Unroll the cake from the towel and, with the word-side down, spread the frosting over the top of the cake. Roll the cake back up, without the towel, and trim the ends so they are clean. Transfer the cake to a serving platter with the seam-side down. Decorate the platter with autumn sprinkles, if desired.

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Line a 15" x 10" sheet pan with parchment paper. Spray the parchment with cooking spray. On a second piece of parchment paper, evenly sprinkle 1/4 cup of powdered sugar and set aside. Combine flour, baking powder and baking soda in a small bowl and set aside. Place eggs in a mixer and mix on high for 3 minutes. Add sweet potatoes and mix until blended. Fold in the flour mixture 1/3 at a time and spread evenly on the parchment-lined sheet tray. Bake 13 to 15 minutes, making sure the top of the cake springs back when touched. Quickly loosen and turn the cake on to the parchment paper prepared with powdered sugar. Peel the paper away from the cake bottom with care. Starting at the narrow end of the cake, roll the cake and and powdered paper together, placing it seam side down. Let cool. To make the filling, beat cream cheese, powdered sugar,to taste, butter and vanilla until smooth. To assemble, unroll the cooled cake. Spread the filling evenly over the cake. Roll the filled cake and refrigerate for a few hours. Dust with powdered sugar.

• Add remaining sugar, sweet potato, butter or margarine, salt, and slightly beaten eggs. Stir to mix well. Stir in 3 cups of flour. Turn out on a lightly floured surface. Knead 2 to 3 minutes, adding just enough of remaining flour to prevent sticking. Do not knead too heavily; when smooth, shape into a ball. Place in an oiled bowl, and turn to coat the surface. Cover, and let raise about 1 hour or longer.
• Punch down, and allow dough to rest for 2 minutes. Divide into 16 to 20 balls, and place on a greased cookie sheet or in a 9x13 inch pan. Allow to rise until doubled.
• Bake at 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) for 12 to 20 minutes. Serve warm.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350°F. Grease bottoms and sides of 2 round pans, 9x1 1/2 inches, with shortening; lightly flour.
• In large bowl, mix flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt and cinnamon. Add sweet potato, oil, 1 teaspoon vanilla, the eggs and pineapple with juice. Beat with electric mixer on medium speed 2 minutes. Stir in cranberries. Pour into pans.

Pour into a greased 8-cup fluted tube pan. , Bake at 350° for 45-50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes before removing from pan to a wire rack to cool completely. Dust with confectioners' sugar.

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Pierce the sweet potatoes all over with a fork, then cook in the microwave on high for 8-10 mins until softened. Or, bake in the oven for 50 mins-1 hr, turning halfway through. Leave to cool a little, then cut in half and scoop the flesh into a bowl. Leave to cool completely.
• Meanwhile, heat the oil in a frying pan over a medium heat and cook the red onions and a pinch of salt for 10-12 mins, stirring occasionally until softened and caramelised. Add the garlic, harissa and tomato purée and fry for 2 mins more. Tip the mix into the bowl with the sweet potato along with the coriander, then mash together. The filling should be mostly smooth, but not a purée. Season and leave to cool completely.
• Unroll the pastry sheet and cut in half lengthways into two long rectangles. Spoon half the filling down the middle of one of the rectangles and form it into a long sausage shape. Brush the edges of the pastry with a little of the milk, then fold the empty half of the pastry over the filling and press the edges to seal. Crimp using a fork to ensure the filling is enclosed, then repeat with the remaining filling and remaining rectangle of pastry.
• Cut the pastry along the length into 7cm-long rolls, then arrange, spaced apart, on a large baking tray lined with baking parchment. The rolls can now be frozen on the tray. Once solid, put in a freezerproof container and freeze for up to three months. Brush with more milk, then sprinkle with the nigella seeds. Cut small slashes into the top of each roll. Bake for 25-30 mins (or 40 mins from frozen), turning halfway through, until golden.
