How to cook deliciously - Sweet Potato Cake

1. Stage

Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease a 13x9-inch baking pan.

2. Stage

In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, sugar, oil and vanilla until blended; set aside. In another bowl, use a clean whisk to whisk together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, ginger, allspice and salt.

3. Stage

Gradually whisk the flour mixture into the egg mixture. Stir in the sweet potatoes and walnuts until combined.

4. Stage

Pour the cake batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading evenly with a rubber spatula. Bake for 40 to 45 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let the cake cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.

5. Stage

In a small bowl, beat the cream cheese, butter and vanilla until combined. Gradually beat in the confectioners' sugar until smooth. Editor's Tip: Butter will soften faster and be easier to beat into the cream cheese if you cut the cube into smaller chunks before letting it soften. When beating here, using a low mixer speed will smoothly incorporate the sugar while minimizing air bubbles.

6. Stage

Spread the frosting over the cooled cake. Slice into squares, and serve. Cover and refrigerate leftovers.
