Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups firmly packed dark brown sugar 1/3 cup unsalted butter, softened, plus more for pan 2 large eggs 1 cup cooked sweet potato 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract 2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour 3/4 cup milk 1/3 cup bourbon or apple juice 1 tablespoon baking powder 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice 3/4 teaspoon salt Nonstick cooking spray with flour 3 tablespoons chopped pecans Bourbon Syrup

Directions

Preheat oven to 325 degrees.

In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, mix together brown sugar, butter, and eggs until very light and fluffy. Add sweet potato and vanilla; beat to combine. Add flour, milk, bourbon, baking powder, pie spice, and salt; mix until just incorporated. Lightly spray a 10 or 12 cup Bundt pan with cooking spray. Sprinkle bottom and up sides of the pan with pecans. Pour in cake batter.

Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean, 50 to 60 minutes. Let cool 10 minutes. Remove from pan; cool completely on wire rack. Brush cake with bourbon syrup. Serve cake slices with any remaining syrup.

    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       11/17/2013   I have been wanting to make this cake for 2 weeks....it wasn't a cake, it was a giant gummy bear! I was so disappointed. Someone please tell me what went wrong.  

Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       01/06/2013   So yummy! I used the dark orange sweet potatoes and since I didn't have bourbon I substituted Grand Marnier instead. Really a delicious and moist cake.  

Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       10/20/2012   This cake was terrible, couldn't taste the sweet potato-cake tasted like spiced flour. This glaze hardened to a grainy consistency-followed directions on the website, not the video. I wonder if I did something incorrect?  

Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       11/10/2010   You don't need to watch the video for the ingredients and directions to make the bourbon sauce. Just look at the bottom of the list of ingredients and you will find printed in "blue" Bourbon Syrup. Click on that and the bourbon syrup recipe will be there.  

Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       09/25/2010   Could I use pumpkin instead of sweet potato?  

Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       10/26/2008   Took this cake to a autumn get-together last night and it was a big hit. Easy to make. My only change was to add more chopped nuts into the batter. Would be REALLY good with whipped cream.......

Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       01/22/2008   Help please!! My computer is old (like me) and does not do video, so I can not get the recipe for the bourbon syrup. Would someone please supply the recipe? I tried search but did not get anything. Thanks  

Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       12/07/2007   This is an incredibly tasty cake. And it's not that difficult to make. I was a little worried about that bourbon syrup, but it turned out wonderfully. I don't usually watch videos like this one, but it really made the whole cake/syrup process doable.  

Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       11/07/2007   Watch the video; the recipe for the bourbon syrup is on there.  

Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       11/03/2007   IT SOUNDS WONDERFUL---BUT WHAT IS BOURBON SYRUP, IS IT STRAIGHT BOURBON?
