Sweet Potato Corn Cake - a recipe from Mike Muth
This is a moist, dense cake which needs no frosting. If you
decide to frost it, a caramel frosting would complement the cake.
Serves 12.

1 large sweet potato
1 1/2 cups yellow corn meal
1 cup flour
3 tsp baking powder
2 eggs, beaten
1 Tbsp butter
1/2 cup molasses
1/2 cup sugar
salt
1/4 tsp nutmeg
1/8 tsp allspice
1/4 tsp cinnamon
2 cups milk

Peel the sweet potato and cut into 1 to 1/2 " dice.
Boil in salted water until the pieces are tender.
Remove and drain.
Allow to cool until you can handle the pieces.
Cream the butter.
Mash the sweet potato in the creamed butter and set aside.
Mix all the dry ingredients.
Stir the eggs into the milk.
Combine the molasses, sweet potato, milk, and dry ingredients.
Mix well. You will have a thin batter.
Pour into a greased 9 x 13 inch pan.
Bake at 325° F for about 40 minutes.
When the cake is done, it will pull away from the sides and pass
the toothpick test.

Coffee or Tea. It's not sweet enough for a desert, unless you ice it. It is a nice "snack" cake, though.

Sounds like it might be good for breakfast. Is the texture such that
I could bake it in a loaf pan and call it a quick bread?
