Ingredients

  • 1 package yellow cake mix (regular size)
  • 1 can (15 ounces) sweet potatoes, drained and mashed
  • 1 cup water
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 can (8 ounces) unsweetened crushed pineapple, well drained
  • 2 tablespoons canola oil
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

  • Divide the batter among three greased and floured 9-in. round baking pans. Bake at 350° for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes before removing from pans to wire racks to cool completely.

This cake was one of several desserts I made for Thanksgiving dinner and it was the only dessert that completely disappeared before all guest left. I will definitely be making this recipe again and again and again...
