• Mix all dry ingredients into large mixing bowl: flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg. In a seperate bowl, mix sweet potatoes, sugar, eggs, oil, vanilla. Combine wet ingredients to your dry ingredients and mix until all constistency is smooth with out lumps.
• Pour into battered pan, bake for about 25-30 minutes. Allow to cool for 20 minutes before serving.
• In seperate bowl, whip one cup of heavy cream and 2 T powder sugar and nutmeg until thick consistency. Place in refrigerator. Serve with cake after it cools.

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:

• Combine nut mixture and set aside.
• Roast sweet potatoes in 375 degree oven for 1 1/2 hours, or until a knife can entirely pierce the potato. When potatoes have cooled slightly, mash with a fork and set aside. Grease mini loaf pans and set aside. Cream butter and sugars together until light. Scrape bowl often. Add orange zest, then eggs one at a time. Again, scrape bowl often. In another bowl, combine dry ingredients and mix well. Alternate the dry and wet ingredients with the mashed sweet potato in 3 parts starting with the dry. Mix until batter is well combined, but do not over mix. Spoon batter into loaf pans and sprinkle the spiced nuts over the top of each loaf. Gently fold in nuts, leaving some exposed. Bake at 350 degrees for about 40 minutes. For the Molasses Cream: Whip cream 50 percent, add powdered sugar and molasses. Continue whipping until fully whipped. ASSEMBLING DESSERT: Slice pound cake and place on plate. With a wet spoon gently scoop whipped cream and place along side of pound cake. Enjoy.
