• Bake in the preheated oven until a wooden skewer inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean, 65 to 75 minutes. Remove cake from the oven and leave in the pan.

SMOKY SWEET POTATO CAKES WITH MAMA CALLIE'S MAPLE SYRUP

Steps:

• Grate the sweet potatoes into a medium mixing bowl. Add the grated onion, green onions, flour, beaten eggs, paprika, salt, and pepper, and mix well.
• Heat the peanut oil in a large, deep cast-iron skillet over medium heat. Working in batches, drop 1/4 cup of the sweet-potato mixture into the hot oil, lightly flattening into 1/2-inch-thick pancakes with a spatula. Fry until golden and crisp, about 3 to 4 minutes per side.
• Transfer to a paper-towel-lined sheet tray to drain. Sprinkle with salt. Repeat with remaining pancakes.
• Combine the ingredients in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 25 to 30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until thick and syrupy.
• Don't grate the sweet potatoes until just before you're ready to mix and cook; otherwise, they might turn brown and ruin your beautiful cakes! If you've gotten ahead of yourself, or are serving your brunch buffet-style, hold the cakes warm in a 200-degree oven until ready to serve.
