  • Author: Olivia
  • Total Time: 13 minute

Ingredients

– 2 cups mashed sweet potatoes (cooked and cooled)
– 2 cups all-purpose flour
– 1 ½ cups granulated sugar
– ½ cup vegetable oil
– ½ cup buttermilk
– 3 large eggs
– 1 tablespoon baking powder
– 1 teaspoon baking soda
– 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
– ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
– ¼ teaspoon ground ginger
– ¼ teaspoon salt
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract


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.
