Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Adjust the position of the rack to the center of the oven. Grease and flour 2 (9-inch) pans or 3 (8-inch) pans. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, stir together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and granulated sugar. Set aside. In the bowl of a mixer, cream margarine and brown sugar on low speed, and then increase speed to medium and beat until well-combined. Gradually add the dry ingredients and beat on low speed until just incorporated. Add eggs, 1 at a time, beating well after each egg and scraping down the sides of the bowl after the addition of each egg. Add vanilla, sweet potatoes, pineapple, raisins, and walnuts and blend on low speed until thoroughly mixed.
- Pour batter into pans and smooth the surface with a metal spatula. Bake for 1 hour to 1 hour and 10 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean; when you touch the center of the cake, it should spring back. Allow to cool in pans for 10 minutes, and then invert onto a rack and cool completely.
- For icing: In the bowl of an electric mixer, beat cream cheese and butter on medium speed until smooth. Add vanilla and beat until incorporated. Gradually add sugar and beat on low speed until smooth.
- Icing the cake: Place 1 cake layer, top-side down, on a cake platter. Using a metal spatula, spread a layer of cream cheese frosting evenly over the top of the cake. Take the next layer and place it on top, rounded-side up. Frost the top and sides of the cake with the remaining frosting. The cake should be refrigerated for about 1 hour to make sure the layers are set. Sprinkle chopped walnuts on top of cake, if desired.

Steps:
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F, make sure a rack is in the center of the oven and grease 2 9" round cake pans and line with parchment round.
- Place the 18 tablespoons butter, granulated sugar and brown sugar in an electric stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment and mix on medium until creamy and well blended, about 4 minutes. Add the eggs one at a time mixing well between each. Add in the sweet potato and mix for 1 minute more. Add the water and vanilla and mix on low for 1 minute.
- In a medium bowl whisk together the flour, cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda, sea salt, allspice, nutmeg, ginger and cloves. Add to the sweet potato mixture and mix on low until just combined. Pour the batter into the prepared pans, smoothing the top and gently tapping on the counter several times to release any trapped bubbles.
- Bake in the center of the oven for 40-45 minutes or until a cake tester comes out clean. Let cool for 15 minutes in the pan, remove from the pan and finish cooling on a cooling rack. While the cake is baking combine the sugar and water in a small saucepan over medium-low heat stirring until the sugar has melted. Whisk in the bourbon, cool slightly. Once the cake has cooled, place plastic wrap in the pan and place the cake back in the pan. Pour the bourbon syrup over the cakes. Cakes can be refrigerated overnight before frosting.
- To prepare the buttercream, place the 2 sicks butter in a medium saucepan and melt over medium heat. Once melted, crank up the heat to medium high. Stand by, stirring and watching. Small golden bits will start to settle on the bottom of the pan and it will start to smell delicious and nutty. Once this happens, take it off the heat and pour into a small, heat-safe bowl to cool completely.
- In an electric stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment add the cooled brown butter, softened butter and mix on low until combined. Add in the powdered sugar and mix on low adding cream as needed until fully blended and smooth. Frost the cake leaving the sides naked or lightly frosted. Dust with nutmeg.
