My family is not overly thrilled with just eating sweet potatoes so I try and get creative with sneaking them in. This is the perfect recipe for just that. This cake that I used as a bread with dinner and side dish with breakfast the next morning was a huge hit. I didn't end up using the powerdered sugar and didn't feel like it needed it. The cake is very moist and has great flavor. I will be making this again soon.

I made this yesterday with some leftover sweet potatoes from Thanksgiving dinner. They were just sliced and baked with brown sugar and butter. I mashed them up and it worked out great. I love the texture of this cake -- nice and dense. I added a few more raisins than the recipe called for because I wanted to use up the box, so it probably had a little more fruit in it than the original recipe. I also substituted walnuts for pecans (because I have a ton of them in my freezer from last fall), and I used 2/3 of a cup of light brown sugar and 2/3 of white sugar. Finally, I substituted 1 1/2 tsp. of a spice blend from Penzey's spices, called cake spice, for the cinnamon and ginger. It is especially good in coffee cakes.
