Ingredients

• 2 cups sweet potatoes (mashed)
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1.5 cups granulated sugar
• 0.5 cups light brown sugar
• 1 cup unsalted butter (softened)
• 3 large eggs
• 0.5 cup milk
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
• 1.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 0.5 teaspoon ground ginger
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 cup powdered sugar (optional for dusting)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch round cake pan. Line the bottom with parchment paper for easy release.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together using an electric mixer until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 4

Add the eggs one at a time to the butter-sugar mixture, beating well after each addition.

Step 5

Mix in the mashed sweet potatoes, vanilla extract, and milk until the mixture is smooth and well combined.

Step 6

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 7

Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top with a spatula.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Step 9

Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

Optional: Dust the top of the cooled cake with powdered sugar before serving.
