Very Tropical! I made this last night and ate a piece (or two) today. Usually I wouldn't give 5 star but my husband raved how awesome the cake was and told me to give 5 star. This didn't taste much like sweet potato and it tasted very fruity. I added a bit of dried cranberries along with golden raisins. I used sweetened coconut and omitted brown sugar in the topping. Yum!
It good not too sweet and very hearty. Slightly different from the traditional sweet potato pudding from Jamaica. Worth the try and taste though.
Caramba! I soaked the raisins in dark rum for 30 minutes. Fantastic recipe and my husband now wants this instead of chocolate cake!
Possible typo I love trying new recipes especially those that are more healthy... however I find typos in recipes frustrating... 1 cup 1 cup... is that 2? 1 1/2? or just 1?
Loved it The first time I made this cake I substituted the mashed sweet potato for mashed pumpkin and the cake came out GREAT. It was soo good! I tried it with a cranberry sauce and the combination was so delicious that the second time I made it I stuck with the pumpkin and instead of raisins I used dried cranberries. Will definitely be making again.
Wow! I took this cake to a dinner recently and it was a huge hit. Great texture not too sweet. A great mid-winter treat that is also easy to prepare.
Delicious! I made this for company and they loved it especially my sister-in-law who is lactose intolerant. She was delighted to have something so good that she could eat. She asked for the recipe and said she would make it as soon as she got home. I found it to be too sweet for my taste so will make the next one with less sugar. Pros: Easy & Quick to make Cons: Too Sweet for my taste.
This was a pleasant alternative from painfully sweet gooey desserts. Subtle flavors not too sweet with a dense hearty texture. It was great for breakfast too. It could easily be adapted for those who can't deal with gluten as well. Pros: Easy to prepare and a good way to use up the home-grown swee potatoes that won't store well.
Fab Christmas alternative pudding Easy to make pudding and not a crumb left! Pros: Easy recipe and very adaptable Cons: Recipe should include wayyyyy more rum
