How to Make Sweet Potato Pound Cake
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Grease and flour two 8 1/2 x 4 1/2 x 2 5/8 inch loaf pans.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together 3 cups all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg, 1/2 teaspoon ground mace, and 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon.
- In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar, and 1 cup packed brown sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in 1 cup cooked and mashed sweet potato and 2 large eggs, one at a time, on low speed until well combined.
- Gradually beat in the dry ingredients until just incorporated.
- Stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
- Divide batter evenly between the prepared loaf pans.
- Bake for 55-65 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let cool in pans for 10 minutes before inverting onto a wire rack to cool completely.
- Serve warm or cold. Freezes beautifully!
