Instructions
Creating this Sweet Potato Bundt Cake can be straightforward if you follow these steps:
1. Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a Bundt pan to ensure easy removal later.
2. Prepare Sweet Potatoes: If not already done, cook sweet potatoes until tender and then mash until smooth. Allow them to cool before using.
3. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and salt.
4. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, beat together the sugar and vegetable oil until combined. Add the buttermilk and continue mixing.
5. Add Eggs: Incorporate the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then, add the mashed sweet potatoes and vanilla extract until smooth.
6. Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
7. Pour into Bundt Pan: Transfer the batter to the prepared Bundt pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
8. Bake: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
9. Cool the Cake: Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 15-20 minutes. Then, carefully invert it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
10. Prepare the Glaze (optional): In a small bowl, mix powdered sugar with milk and vanilla extract until smooth. Drizzle over the cooled cake.
