This has both the taste of pie and cake. My family has been making it since forever. My Mother always made her cakes from scratch. We lived on a farm and usually had access to fresh ingredients (eggs, milk/cream, butter, etc). I have tried to update as best I can. She was a cook by taste not measuring and I followed her around in the kitchen to try and put her recipes in writing. Have made this cake many times but it never turns out as good as hers.


Sweet Potato (Pie) Cake Date (1950's)
4 eggs
1 cup sugar
1/4 cup brown sugar, packed
1 can Milnot (evaporated milk)
1 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp pumpkin pie spice
2 cups sweet potatoes/cooked/peeled/mashed

Mix all together and pour in a 9 X 13" pan, lightly sprayed or buttered.

Next, sprinkle homemade (recipe to follow) or bought yellow cake mix. Melt one stick butter (homemade) and add one cup roasted chopped pecans; sprinkle over cake mix. Do not stir. Bake for one hour @350 degrees or until a knife inserted comes out clean. Serve on a platter with whipped cream (from your own cow, of course). Can also be baked in a bundt pan and just glazed.
