This quick cake has lots of delicious apples, sweet potatoes, spices, pecans and caramel. My surprise of white cheddar cheese enhances the wonderful filling. —Kathy Specht, Clinton, Montana

Test Kitchen tip
Don't leave out the cheddar! It's subtle and adds a slightly sweet-salty flavor that makes this dump cake special.

Wow! This is delicious! I’m sitting here, leaving a review, making my second one, smelling the fantastic aroma as it is baking! My son, who is very picky, thought he wouldn’t like it because of the sweet potatoes and pecans, but he loves it and asked me to make it again! I added more pecans and caramel the second time as the top of the cake resembles pecan pie!
