MISSY G'S SWEET POTATO POUND CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325°.
• Bake your sweet potatoes for at least 45 minutes; use a knife to test for doneness-the potato should be very mushy inside its shriveled skin.
• Remove from oven and cool for 1 hour.
• Slit each skin lengthwise and remove, leaving the soft, orange center.
• Mash with a potato masher and measure out 2 cups for this recipe.
• Cool to room temperature before mixing the cake.
• Make the cake-position oven rack so the cake will sit in the middle of the oven, preheat oven to 325°.
• Line the bottom of a 10-inch tube pan with parchment paper, and spray the sides and bottom with baking spray.
• Cream the butter with a mixer on medium speed.
• Combine the sugars in a separate bowl.
• Gradually add to the creamed butter, 1/4 cup at a time, beating at medium to high speed after each addition.
• Add the eggs, one at a time, beating a medium to high speed for 1 minute after adding each one.
• Decrease mixer speed to low and add the mashed potatoes, 1/2 cup at a time.
• In a separate bowl, dry whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, nutmeg, cinnamon, and salt.
• In another bowl, combine the milk, vanilla, and maple flavoring.
• With the mixer still on low speed, alternately add the flour mixture and milk mixture, beating after each addition.
• Start with a third of the flour mixture, beat, then add half of the milk mixture, beat again, and repeat until the last of the flour mixture has been added and beaten inches.
• Turn off the mixer, scrape down the sides of the bowl with a spatula and then mix the batter on medium to high speed for 2 minutes.
• Slow the mixer down to the lowest speed and add the apples, mixing until just incorporated.
• Pour the batter into the prepared pan; smooth with the back of a spoon.
• The topping-in yet another bowl, combine the cold butter, brown sugar, and chopped pecans.
• Mix with a wooden spoon and do not fret because the mixture is crumbly.
• Sprinkle the topping all over the surface of the batter.
• Bake for 1 hour and 15 minutes before testing for doneness.
• Use a sharp knife to test the cake, and poke it around in a couple of places to determine whether it is finished (this cake can fool ya.).
• Cool in the pan for 20 minutes; then, using the plate-over-pan method, unmold the cake and flip it onto a cake rack, topping side up.
