Ingredients

🧁 Yellow Cake Mix (quantity not specified)
🥛 1 cup Milk
🫒 1/3 cup Vegetable Oil
🥚 3 Eggs
🍠 1-3 Sweet Potatoes, mashed
🧀 4 oz Cream Cheese
🍂 Brown Sugar (quantity not specified)

Instructions

1- Preheat Your Oven:

Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). This ensures that the cake bakes evenly.

2- Prepare the Batter:

In a large mixing bowl, combine the yellow cake mix, milk, vegetable oil, and eggs.
Mix well until the batter is smooth and free of lumps.

3- Prepare the Sweet Potato Mixture:

In a separate bowl, mash the sweet potatoes.
Add in the cream cheese and a pinch of salt.
Mix until the ingredients are well integrated and the mixture is creamy.

4- Combine the Mixtures:

Gently fold the sweet potato mixture into the cake batter, ensuring an even blend.

5- Prepare the Baking Dish:

Grease a baking dish with butter or a non-stick spray to prevent sticking.

6- Layer the Cake Batter:

Pour half of the cake batter into the prepared baking dish.
Sprinkle a layer of brown sugar evenly over the batter.
Pour the remaining cake batter on top, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
Sprinkle another layer of brown sugar on top of the final batter layer.

7- Bake the Cake:

Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 40-50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. The top should be golden brown.

8- Cool and Serve:

Allow the cake to cool in the dish for about 10 minutes before serving.
Slice into squares or slices and enjoy while warm.
