This sweet potato pound cake is such a fun and delicious fall dessert made with, sweet potatoes, sweetened condensed milk, all the fall spices, and a super easy maple glaze. This post is sponsored by Eagle Brand Milk, but as always, all thoughts and opinions are my own. Thank you for supporting the brands that make Buuck Farms Bakery Possible.

You guys are going to love this Sweet Potato Pound Cake so much. It’s super easy to make and comes together in under an hour. You can bake it as a show-stopping bundt cake, as I did here. Or, you can make it into two loaves perfect for hostess gifts for your holiday parties. The sweet potato provides a delicious unexpected twist, and the sweetened condensed milk helps keep the cake moist for days!

How to Make Sweet Potato Pound Cake

Make the Pound Cake

Preheat the oven to 350 and prepare your pan. If you are baking as a bundt, spray the pan with some baking spray that contains flour, like Baker’s Joy. If you want to bake as loaves, line two loaf pans with parchment paper leaving an overhang so that the cakes can be easily lifted out of the pans once they’ve cooled.

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, cinnamon, ground cloves, nutmeg, ginger, baking soda, and baking powder. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the sugar, eggs, oil, sweet potato puree, sweetened condensed milk, and vanilla until well combined and smooth. Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the wet. Use a rubber spatula to fold the wet into the dry until combined.

Pour into the prepared pan and bake for 50-55 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out mostly clean with a few moist crumbs attached. Let the cake cool for about 10 minutes, then flip out onto a cooling rack to cool completely.

Make the Maple Glaze

In a medium sized bowl, whisk the powdered sugar and maple syrup until well combined and smooth, with no lumps of powdered sugar. Take a bit of the glaze and test the thickness by dripping it down the side of the bowl. It should run down the side of the bowl slowly. Adjust the thickness if needed by adding more powdered sugar to thicken, or more syrup to thin it out. Pour the glaze over the cooled cake.

Slice and serve once glaze has set.
