The food world has a serious love affair going on with sweet potatoes. And why not, they’re delicious and healthy and everything you want a super food to be. Stepping in as a healthy alternative in just about every recipe you can image. From sweet potato fries to sweet potato chili, sweet potato burgers – they’re baked, boiled, mashed and smashed! One quick Pinterest<\/a> search and you’ll have a plethora of ways to eat more sweet potatoes!<\/p>\n

But then the holidays approach and sweet potato casserole comes to town, with its gooey toasted marshmallow topping, taking sweet potatoes a step towards decadence and a step away from super food. So today we’re going all in! We’re giving sweet potatoes a not-so-gentle nudge into the full-blown sweets column with this cake. Yes, today’s cake takes all of the flavors from the classic sweet potato side dish but we’re subbing cake pans for casserole pans and adding a hefty dose of THIS….<\/p>\n

It all starts with the browned butter. From there we’re adding creamy sweet potatoes, cinnamon and brown sugar to create a tender cake filled with all the flavors you love. Marshmallow fluff gets whipped up into a dreamy, creamy frosting that’s swirling around – only to find itself drowning in a glistening, drippy maple glaze. Small dollops of frosting add some texture while a sprinkle of chopped pecans and a dusting of cinnamon complete the yum.<\/p>\n

\"Sweet<\/p>\n

Thanksgiving, Christmas, winter birthdays – whatever the occasion – this sweet potato cake will happily join in the celebration.<\/p>\n
