Ingredients

1 cup mashed sweet potatoes (cooked and cooled)
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 package (8 oz) cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract (for frosting)
1/4 cup heavy cream

Instructions

Prepare the Sweet Potatoes: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Cook and mash the sweet potatoes, then let them cool.
Mix Dry Ingredients: In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
Cream Butter and Sugar: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs and vanilla, mixing until combined.
Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with the mashed sweet potatoes. Mix until just combined.
Bake the Cake: Divide the batter evenly between two greased 9-inch round cake pans. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let cool in the pans for 10 minutes before transferring to wire racks to cool completely.
Prepare the Cheesecake Filling: In a separate bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add the powdered sugar and vanilla, mixing until creamy.
Assemble the Cake: Once the cakes are completely cool, place one layer on a serving plate. Spread the cheesecake filling evenly over the top, then place the second cake layer on top.
Make the Frosting: In a bowl, beat the cream cheese with the powdered sugar and heavy cream until smooth and fluffy. Frost the top and sides of the cake.
Serve: Slice and enjoy your Sweet Potato Cheesecake Cake!
