- Cake
- 1 medium sweet potato
- 1/2 cup butter
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup light brown sugar
- 1/2 cup dark brown sugar
- 4 eggs, room temperature
- 3 cups flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup milk
- Irish Whiskey Glaze
- 1 cup Irish whiskey
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons confectioners' sugar
- 1 tablespoon butter
Method
- Preheat oven to 325°F Grease and flour a standard tube pan.
- Cook sweet potato in boiling water until tender; or, for richer flavor, bake in the oven. Cool, peel and mash until you have 1 cup puree.
- Cream butter together with sugars in a large mixing bowl. Mix in sweet potato puree. Add eggs, 1 at a time, beating well after each addition.
- Sift flour, baking powder and salt together and add alternately with milk. Pour into pan and bake 60 to 70 minutes.
- While cake is baking, make Irish Whiskey Glaze:
- Combine whiskey, sugar and butter in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil to dissolve sugar.
- When cake tests done remove to a rack. Pour a portion of glaze over hot cake in pan. Let soak in a little before adding all the glaze. Cool completely in pan and gently remove to a plate.
