Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups cooked and mashed sweet potatoes (about 2 medium)
- 1 box yellow cake mix (15.25 oz)
- ½ cup vegetable oil
- 3 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1 can sweetened condensed milk (14 oz)
- 1 cup caramel sauce (plus extra for topping)
- 2 cups whipped topping (or whipped cream)
- 1 cup chopped pecans
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
- In a large bowl, combine the cake mix, mashed sweet potatoes, vegetable oil, eggs, ground cinnamon, and ground nutmeg, mixing until smooth.
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and bake for 30–35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- While the cake is still warm, take the handle of a wooden spoon and poke holes all over the surface of the cake.
- Evenly pour the sweetened condensed milk over the cake, allowing it to soak into the holes.
- Drizzle ½ cup of caramel sauce over the cake, spreading it gently so it seeps in.
- Allow the cake to cool completely, then spread the whipped topping over the surface.
- Sprinkle the chopped pecans on top and drizzle with additional caramel sauce just before serving.
