Step-by-Step Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare your baking pan by greasing and flouring it.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine mashed sweet potatoes, softened unsalted butter, and granulated sugar. Beat with a hand mixer for about 2-3 minutes until smooth and creamy.
- Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, then add sour cream and mix until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and salt.
- Fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture gently using a rubber spatula until just combined.
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, smoothing the top evenly.
- Bake for 45–60 minutes, checking for doneness with a toothpick.
- Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
- To prepare the glaze, combine powdered sugar with milk or cream and stir until smooth.
- Once cooled, drizzle the glaze over the cake and serve.

Notes
Use room temperature eggs for better mixing. Store leftover cake in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days, or refrigerate for 1 week.
