Souper Spice Sweet Potato Cake image

This recipe came from a community cookbook put together by some students to raise money for a field trip in the 70's. I found some really great tried-and-true, home tested recipes. There was drips and food and stuff all over those pages, as my grandmother used it for a lot of her dishes.

Time 55m

Yield 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 cups self-rising flour
1 tablespoon pumpkin pie spice
1 (10 ounce) can condensed tomato soup, undiluted
1/4 cup maple syrup
1 cup mashed sweet potatoes
1 1/3 cups brown sugar
1/2 cup shortening (I prefer Crisco)
2 eggs
1/2 cup pecans, chopped

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Grease and flour a tube pan (Angel food cake pan).
  • In a large bowl, combine the dry ingredients, soup, and shortening. Mix for 2 minutes or until completely blended.
  • Add the eggs and syrup and mix 2 minutes more. Fold in the potatoes and nuts.
  • Turn into the pan and bake about 45 minutes to an hour, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
  • Cool on a wire rack in the pan for 10 minutes. Remove from the pan and cool completely. Serve with powdered sugar glaze or sweetened whipped cream.
  • NOTE: The cake can also be baked in a 9x13 pan or loaf pans. Just adjust the bake time. I've never subbed the pans, so I'm not sure about cook-time.
