SWEET POTATO BAKE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 °F. Mix sweet potatoes, sugar, spices, 1/3 cup butter, eggs and vanilla. Beat with an electric mixer until smooth. Add cream, mix well. Pour into greased casserole dish (1 1/2 quarts). Add topping. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes.
• Mix together 3 tablespoons butter, brown sugar, flour and nuts with fork; sprinkle over top of casserole.

GLAZED SWEET POTATO BUNDT CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°. Spray a 10-cup Bundt pan with baking spray with flour.
• For cake: In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, beat sugar and eggs at high speed until thick and pale, about 3 minutes. Reduce speed to low, and beat in oil, melted butter, and vanilla. Beat in sweet potato just until combined.
• In a large bowl, whisk together flour, cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and nutmeg. In a small bowl, whisk together buttermilk and rum if using. Gradually add flour mixture to sweet potato mixture alternately with buttermilk mixture, beginning and ending with flour mixture, beating just until combined after each addition. Pour batter into prepared pan.
• Bake until a wooden pick inserted near center comes out clean, about 1 hour. Let cool in pan for 10 minutes. Remove from pan, and let cool completely on a wire rack.
• For glaze: In a small saucepan, bring brown sugar, 2 tablespoons water, butter, rum if using, and corn syrup to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low; cook for 1 minute. Remove from heat, and gradually whisk in confectioners' sugar until smooth. Let cool for 3 minutes. Drizzle onto cooled cake, and garnish with pecans, if desired. Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.

PAULA DEEN SWEET POTATO BALLS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• Bake the potatoes until tender, then peel and mash them. Stir in the brown sugar, orange juice, zest and nutmeg. In a separate bowl, toss the coconut with the sugar and cinnamon. Press mashed potatoes around each marshmallow, creating a 2 to 3-inch diameter ball. Roll the balls in the coconut mixture. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes.
