Ingredients

Scale

Cake:

  • 1 cup mashed sweet potatoes (about 1 medium sweet potato)
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tbsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
  • 1/2 tsp ground ginger
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar for cinnamon swirl
  • 1 tbsp ground cinnamon for cinnamon swirl

Glaze:

  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 tbsp milk
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a 9×13-inch baking pan by greasing and flouring.
  2. Mix wet ingredients: In a large bowl, mix the mashed sweet potatoes, granulated sugar, brown sugar, oil, eggs, buttermilk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  3. Combine dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger.
  4. Blend ingredients: Gradually blend the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring until well combined.
  5. Prepare cinnamon swirl: In a small bowl, mix the sugar and cinnamon for the cinnamon swirl.
  6. Layer and swirl: Pour half of the cake batter into the prepared baking pan, then sprinkle half of the cinnamon swirl mixture over it. Add the remaining batter and gently swirl with a knife, then sprinkle the remaining cinnamon swirl mixture on top.
  7. Bake: Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  8. Cool and glaze: Let the cake cool completely in the pan on a wire rack. For the glaze, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract. Drizzle over the cooled cake.
