Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350. Grease and flour two 9 inch round cake pans.
- Mash sweet potatoes with their heavy syrup in mixing bowl using fork or potato masher. Add cake mix, eggs, oil, and cinnamon. Blend with mixer on low speed for 1 minute. Stop machine and scrape down sides of bowl. Increase mixer speed to medium and beat 2 to 3 minutes more, scraping down sides again, if needed. The batter should look well combined and thickened. Divide batter between prepared pans. Place pans in oven.
- Bake cakes until they spring back when lightly pressed with your finger and just start to pull away from edge of pan, 28-31 minutes. Remove pans from oven and place on wire racks to cool for 10 minutes. Run a dinner knife around edge of each layer and invert onto a wire rack. Cool to room temperature.
- Meanwhile, prepare Coconut Pecan Cream Cheese Frosting:.
- Place cream cheese and butter in large mixing bowl. Blend with mixer on low speed until combined, 30 seconds. Stop machine. Add confectioners' sugar, a bit at a time, blending with the mixer on low speed until the sugar is well incorporated, 1 minute. Add vanilla, then increase mixer speed to medium and blend the frosting until fluffy, 1 minute more. Fold in coconut and pecans.
- Place one cake layer, right side up, on platter. Spread the top with frosting. Place second layer, right side up, on top of the first layer and frost top and sides of cake with clean, smooth strokes.

COCONUT-PECAN SWEET POTATOES
While living with my elderly grandparents, I tried my best to prepare things my grandfather would eat. Basically, he'd quit eating and just decided that he would give up on living. He loved sweet potatoes and I fixed them at least three times a week, trying out different ways to serve them. While rummaging through the cabinets, I came across a can of coconut pecan frosting usually used on a German Chocolate Cake. Since I didn't have a cake mix, I decided to try something a bit different. This is what the result was. Deeelish...and elegant enough for the fanciest dinner party or simple enough for Sunday dinner.

COCONUT-PECAN SNACK CAKE
This recipe is the slightly modified version of one I found in a crazy little book called "The Sweet Potato Queens' Big-Ass Cookbook and Financial Planner". No kidding! It's easy and has such a surprising twist in preparation which is the secret to it being so moist. I call it a snack cake because it doesn't need to be iced. Enjoy!

SWEET POTATO-COCONUT CAKE
Not sure where this recipe originated, as I found it clipped from what appears to be a magazine. I haven't found a recipe quite like this one. I have not made it yet, however, I wish to make it soon. *Note* in the recipe where fresh coconut is needed, bagged unsweetened shredded coconut can be substituted I guessed on the prep time. The recipe seems a bit involved.

Steps:
- Cake: set an oven rack in the middle of the oven; preheat oven to 350°; butter three 8-inch round cake pans; line them with parchment or wax paper cut to fit; then butter the paper; dust all over with fine dry bread crumbs, invert the pans over paper and tap gently to shake out excess; set aside.
- Sift together the flour, baking powder, salt, ginger, and nutmeg; set aside.
- In a big bowl of an electric mixer, beat the sugar and oil just to mix.
- Add in egg yolks; beat to mix.
- On low speed, add the sifted dry ingredients in three additions alternating with the boiling water and vanilla in two additions; remove the bowl from the mixer and set aside.
- Note: to prepare the potatoes-peel them and then grate them on the fine grater of a food processor or with a hand-held grater set over a piece of foil; use the side of the grater that has small, round-not diamond-shaped-openings; measure 2 cups tightly packed.
- Stir the potatoes and then the pecans into the batter.
- In a small bowl of an electric mixer (with clean beaters), beat the whites until they hold a straight shape when the beaters are raised, but are not stiff or dry.
- Without being too thorough, fold about one-third of the whites into the batter, then fold in the remaining whites, handling as little as necessary until just incorporated.
- Divide the batter among the prepared pans and smooth the tops.
- Bake the three pans on the same oven rack for 30-35 minutes, until the cakes barely begin to come away from the sides of the pan (these layers might not spring back when pressed with a fingertip, even though they will be done).
- Cool in the pans for 2-3 minutes; then cover each pan with a rack, turn the pan and rack over, remove the pan and paper lining, cover with another rack, and turn over again, leaving the layers right side up to cool.
- When you are ready to ice the cake, place four 12x4 inch strips of parchment or wax paper in a square pattern around the sides of a large cake plate; place one layer on the plate.
- Stir the apricot preserves in a small saucepan over medium heat to melt.
- Then press through a strainer; with a teaspoon or pastry brush, spread the first cake layer with 1/3 of the preserves; reserve the remaining preserves.
- Icing: add the sugar, cream of tartar, and water in a 6-cup saucepan; with a wooden spoon stir over medium heat until the mixture begins to boil.
- Cover airtight and let boil 3 minutes (this keeps the steam in the pot and dissolves any sugar crystals that cling to the sides).
- Uncover and insert a candy thermometer; increase heat to high and let boil, without stirring, until the thermometer registers 242°.
- Shortly before the sugar syrup is done (or when the thermometer registers about 236°--soft ball stage), add the salt to the egg whites in the large bowl of an electric mixer and beat until the whites are stiff (if the sugar syrup is not ready, turn the beater to lowest speed and let it beat slowly until the syrup is ready; or you can let the whites stand, but no longer than necessary).
- When the syrup reaches 242°, turn the mixer to high speed and gradually add the syrup in a thin stream (it may be easiest if you pour the syrup into a pitcher and add it from the pitcher).
- Then continue to beat at high speed, scraping the bowl occasionally with a rubber spatula, for about 5 minutes or until the icing is quite thick and stiff (if necessary, beat some more; the icing may still be warm when it is used).
- Add the vanilla and almond extract a minute or two before the icing is stiff enough.
- Spread the first cake layer with icing about ½ inch thick.
- Place the second layer over it and spread with 1/3 of melted apricot preserves, and then cover it with a layer of icing about ½ inch thick.
- Cover with the third cake layer and the remaining preserves.
- Now, it is best to ice the sides first; use a long, narrow metal spatula to ice the sides, thinly at first, and then build it up until it is about ½ inch thick, or thicker.
- Smooth the sides; use the remaining icing on the top; spread it smooth.
- After the sides and the top are smooth and even, then, with the back of a teaspoon or with the spatula, form swirls and peaks evenly on the top of the cake.
- To coat the sides with the coconut, first spread out the coconut the length of a foil or wax paper next to the cake plate.
- Take a handful of the coconut in the palm of your hand and turn your hand to place the coconut on the sides of the cake, starting at the top and working your way down.
- When much of the coconut falls onto the plate, remove it with your fingers and replace it either on the cake or on the pile of coconut on the paper.
- Then, use a long, narrow metal spatula to pick up the coconut that has fallen to the plate and return it onto the sides of the cake.
- Finally, fold the paper strips around the bottom up against the cake, and the coconut that has fallen to the strip will stick to the base of the cake; last, sprinkle all the remaining coconut over the top.
- Remove the paper strips by pulling each one slowly and gently toward a narrow end.
- Since the cake is so high, use a long-bladed knife to cut it and dinner plates to serve it on.
