SWEET POTATO CAKES

Steps:

• Peel and cut up sweet potato. Soak in water for 15 minutes.
• In a saucepan, place sweet potato and water just to cover. Cook until sweet potato is tender. Mash while hot.
• Grate 2 cloves of garlic. Slice 1 clove thinly.
• In a bowl, combine mashed sweet potato, grated garlic, soy sauce and egg. Form into thick rounds and push a slice of garlic into each center.
• Melt butter in a skillet and saute until both sides are browned.

SWEET POTATO CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Adjust the position of the rack to the center of the oven. Grease and flour 2 (9-inch) pans or 3 (8-inch) pans. Set aside.
• In a large bowl, stir together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and granulated sugar. Set aside. In the bowl of a mixer, cream margarine and brown sugar on low speed, and then increase speed to medium and beat until well-combined. Gradually add the dry ingredients and beat on low speed until just incorporated. Add eggs, 1 at a time, beating well after each egg and scraping down the sides of the bowl after the addition of each egg. Add vanilla, sweet potatoes, pineapple, raisins, and walnuts and blend on low speed until thoroughly mixed.
• Pour batter into pans and smooth the surface with a metal spatula. Bake for 1 hour to 1 hour and 10 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean; when you touch the center of the cake, it should spring back. Allow to cool in pans for 10 minutes, and then invert onto a rack and cool completely.
• For icing: In the bowl of an electric mixer, beat cream cheese and butter on medium speed until smooth. Add vanilla and beat until incorporated. Gradually add sugar and beat on low speed until smooth.
• Icing the cake: Place 1 cake layer, top-side down, on a cake platter. Using a metal spatula, spread a layer of cream cheese frosting evenly over the top of the cake. Take the next layer and place it on top, rounded-side up. Frost the top and sides of the cake with the remaining frosting. The cake should be refrigerated for about 1 hour to make sure the layers are set. Sprinkle chopped walnuts on top of cake, if desired.

SWEET POTATO CHILI CAKES WITH CILANTRO LIME SAUCE

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine the sweet potatoes, jalapeno, flour, baking powder, salt, chili powder, cumin, and black pepper.
• In a small bowl lightly beat the milk and egg until well mixed. Add to the sweet potato mixture, stirring, until all the ingredients are well combined.
• Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add enough vegetable oil to cover bottom of skillet. Drop the sweet potato mixture, by rounded teaspoonfuls, into the hot oil. Press lightly to flatten the mixture to the size of a half dollar. Cook until the cakes are golden brown, about 1 to 2 minutes on each side. Transfer the cakes to a serving platter. Top each cake with a small amount of Cilantro Lime Cream Sauce and garnish with fresh cilantro.
• In a small bowl, combine the sour cream, cilantro, lime zest, lime juice and a pinch of salt. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.

HONEY SOY SWEET POTATOES

Steps:

• Rinse sweet potato wedges with salted water to soften slightly.
• Heat sesame oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add sweet potato wedges; cook until light brown, about 2 minutes per side. Reduce heat to low and cover; cook, stirring occasionally, until browned, about 10 minutes.
• Mix soy sauce, mirin, and honey together in a small bowl. Pour into skillet and stir until wedges are evenly coated, about 1 minute.

SOUTHERN SWEET POTATO CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Combine shortening, vegetable oil, and flour in a bowl; mix very well. Brush two 9x9-inch cake pans with the mixture. Reserve remaining mixture for future baking.
• Beat sugar, eggs, oil, and vanilla extract together in a large bowl.
• Mix flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, pumpkin pie spice, and salt together in a separate bowl. Add to the sugar mixture gradually, mixing constantly to prevent lumps. Stir in sweet potatoes. Fold in chopped pecans. Divide batter between the prepared pans.
• Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 40 to 45 minutes. Let cool in the pans for 15 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack and cool completely, about 1 hour.
• Make the frosting while cakes are cooling. Combine confectioners' sugar, cream cheese, butter, vanilla extract, orange zest, and allspice in a medium bowl. Beat until smooth and creamy.
• Place 1 cooled cake layer on a serving plate. Cover with frosting. Add second cake layer. Frost the top and sides. Sprinkle pecans on top.

ROASTED SWEET POTATOES AND SOY SAUCE

Steps:

SWEET POTATOES WITH ONIONS AND TOMATOES

Steps:

• In a large pan, fry the onions in the oil until soft. Add the garlic, and when the aroma rises, add the tomatoes and ginger.
• Cut the sweet potatoes into 1-inch cubes, and put them in the pan with the cilantro. Add about 1 1/2 cups water, or enough to half-cover the potatoes, and season with salt and pepper. Cook, uncovered, for 15 minutes, until the potatoes are tender and the liquid has almost evaporated, turning the potatoes over once.
• Serve hot or cold.
