SWEET POTATO CAKE WITH MARSHMALLOW FROSTING

Southern sweet Potato Cake with Marshmallow Frosting is the perfect cake for fall & Thanksgiving. It’s moist, full of warm spices, and crowned with a sweet fluffy cloud of marshmallow buttercream!

You’ve probable attempted spice cake, and you’ve truely tried carrot cake – but have you ever ever had candy potato cake? It’s a scrumptious Southern favored which you want to feature to your baking list. It’s a wet spice cake that’s perfectly dense with the precise hint of cinnamon. Then to remind you of sweet potato casserole, it’s crowned with fluffy cream cheese frosting.

Now i like sweet potato as plenty as the following person. sweet potato fries, mashed candy potato, sweet potato hashbrowns – you call it. however I had by no means attempted baking with candy potato until recently. It turns out that it’s scrumptious. It provides a lot moisture to baked items so they end up soft, tender, and perfectly dense with out being heavy.

Plus – the flavor tastes scrumptious with brown sugar and cinnamon. It’s sincerely a very similar concept to baking with pumpkin or carrots. totally scrumptious.
