WORLD'S BEST SWEET POTATO POUND CAKE
Sweet potatoes during the holidays are a must in our household. This time I decided to do something different other than a casserole or a pie. I used white sweet potatoes, but any sweet potatoes will do. You can eat this cake plain, topped with whipped cream, or topped with a glaze. Either way, this pound cake is delicious!

SWEET POTATO POUND CAKE
Since we are originally from Texas, we naturally love sweet potatoes, but this sweet potato cake deserves to be a tradition in any home, whether you're from the South, East, North or West. My Montana husband rancher loves it and I get great revues from ladies I've treated with it at various social events. - Diane Mannix, Helmville, Montana
