Simple Sweet Potato Pound Cake

This is an easy to make, tasty little cake. Larry really likes it. I left the cinnamon out, as he's not a fan, but I think it would be good with the cinnamon. The original recipe calls for a teaspoon of nutmeg.

Simple Sweet Potato Pound Cake

1box Betty Crocker® pound cake mix
1cup mashed cooked sweet potatoes (I zapped 4 of those little frozen sweet potato patties in the microwave and mashed them up.)
1/2cup milk
1teaspoon ground cinnamon or nutmeg (optional)
3eggs (I used 2 eggs and 1/4 cup of Egg Beaters.)

Heat oven to 350°F. Coat a 10-inch tube pan with Baker’s Secret.
In large bowl, beat cake mix, sweet potatoes, milk, cinnamon and eggs with electric mixer on low speed 1 minute, scraping bowl constantly. Beat on medium speed 3 minutes, scraping bowl occasionally. Spread in pan. Bake 45 to 50 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean and cake is golden brown. Cool 10 minutes; remove from pan to wire rack. Cool completely, about 1 hour.

    I may sprinkle a bit powdered sugar. The cake pan is really beautiful and it makes for a nice Fall dessert.

    I have never heard of sweet potato pound cake but it sure does look and sound good.

    That look delicious Connie! I'll bet you could use pumpkin in place of the sweet potato as well! This is going in my dessert file for Thanksgiving!

    Sounds yummy! I love sweet potatoes! Is a tube pan the same thing as a bundt pan? (Remember, some of us are not as adept in the kitchen as others!) Miss you!

Condensed Cheddar Cheese Soup Substitute - Regular and Reduced-Fat Versions

Although very convenient, commercially prepared condensed soups are expensive and may contain additives and ingredients you'd prefer to skip. You can use these condensed soup substitutes in dishes instead of commercially prepared condensed soups. These homemade substitutes are very easy and quick to make! They taste much better, too. I have almost stopped purchasing the canned versions. Using heart-healthy butter spreads, low-fat or fat-free milk, and low-sodium broth allows you to make these recipes more healthful. You can customize with these simple recipes by adding other seasonings such as garlic powder, celery salt, onion powder, etc. Condensed Cream of Celery Soup Condensed Cream of Chicken Substitute Condensed Cream of Mushroom Substitute Condensed Cheddar Cheese Soup Substitute 3 tablespoons butter 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour 1 cup milk 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese salt, to taste Melt butter in a saucepan over medium-low heat; add flour and whisk until s

Dough Burgers

  Dough Burgers Dough burgers are popular in our neck of the woods. Phillips Grocery in Oxford has received national acclaim for their top-secret-recipe dough burger. I ate two while I was staying at the hospital with my dad recently! It is the nearest restaurant!  When Larry and I were newlyweds and living in New Albany, we loved going to Latham’s for their yummy version of this delicious sandwich. Several other area cities also offer well-known versions of this unique burger. Tupelo’s Johnny’s Drive-In has the "Johnnieburger," and Corinth even has a festival named in honor of their dough burger, affectionately known as “The Slugburger.” Here in our own dear Pontotoc, we love the "Wonderburger" at Butcher Block! Dough burgers supposedly originated during the Great Depression. Adding flour was a great way to stretch hamburger meat. While possibly born out of necessity, it has remained a part of the Southern diet due to its delectable taste. I’ve eaten my share
