Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 box (15.25 oz) spice cake mix
- 1 cup cooked and mashed sweet potatoes
- 3 large eggs
- 0.5 cup vegetable oil
- 0.5 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 cup brown sugar (optional, for extra sweetness)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch cake pan or two 8-inch round cake pans.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the spice cake mix, mashed sweet potatoes, eggs, vegetable oil, and milk.
Add cinnamon, vanilla extract, and brown sugar if desired, then mix until well combined and the batter is smooth. Use a hand mixer for best results.
Pour the batter evenly into the prepared pan(s), spreading it out smoothly with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
Remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool completely in the pan before slicing or frosting.
Optionally, top with cream cheese frosting or a simple dusting of powdered sugar for added sweetness and presentation.
