Comment préparer Spiced Sweet Potato Cake With Brown Sugar Icing
- **Get started:** Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C). Grease and flour a 12-cup bundt pan.
- **Prepare the sweet potatoes:** Pierce 2 large sweet potatoes (about 1.5 lbs total) with a fork. Microwave on high power for 8 minutes per side, or until very tender. Let cool slightly, then peel and mash until you have 2 cups of mashed sweet potato.
- **Make the cake batter:** In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon, 1 teaspoon ground ginger, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and ½ teaspoon salt.
- In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup granulated sugar and ½ cup vegetable oil until light and fluffy. Beat in 2 large eggs one at a time, then stir in the mashed sweet potatoes and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until well combined.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Pour batter into the prepared bundt pan and bake for 65-75 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the cake cool in the pan for 15 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
- **Make the brown sugar glaze:** In a small saucepan, combine ½ cup packed light brown sugar, ¼ cup heavy cream, and 2 tablespoons unsalted butter. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the butter is melted and the sugar is dissolved.
- Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 3 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat and stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
- In a medium bowl, sift 2 cups powdered sugar. Gradually whisk in the warm brown sugar mixture until smooth and glossy.
- Once the cake is completely cool, pour the glaze over the top, allowing it to drip down the sides.
- Let the glaze set for at least 1 hour before serving. Enjoy!
