Ingredients
1 cup margarine or butter (I use margarine)2 cups sugar2 cups cooked and mashed sweet potatoes (I use 3 large potatoes. For this recipe it came to 700g)1 teaspoon vanilla extract4 eggs3 cups whole wheat flour (original called for all purpose white)4 teaspoons baking powder(original called for 2. I have a rule of thumb I use. 1 for each cup of flour and a half extra for heavy flours and things such as sweet potatoes, carrots, raisins, nuts, etc.)1 teaspoon ground cinnamon1/2 teaspoon baking soda1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg1/4 teaspoon saltOriginal recipe calls for a glaze which I leave out. But if you want one, any glaze made with orange zest and orange juice and confectioners sugar will do.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease and flour a 10 inch tube pan. Sift dry ingredients and set aside.
Cream soften margarine and sugar until fluffy and light. Add mashed potatoes and vanilla and mix until thoroughly blended. Add eggs and when all combined add dry ingredients and beat on low until mixed well.
Pour in pan and bake at 350 for about 80 minutes or until test knife or toothpick comes out clean. Let cool before removing from pan.
Serving Size: 25 1-1/2 inch slices
