SWEET POTATO POUND CAKE with RUM GLAZE and Pecans | Holiday Series | Cooking With Carolyn

[@CookingWithCarolyn]

💎GET RECIPES HERE | bit.ly/GDSeasoning Let me make something clear, Sweet Potatoes and "yams" are all a part of the sweet potato FAMILY. There are dozens of varieties that exist. It just depends on WHERE YOU LIVE, THE COUNTRY YOU'RE FROM AND WHAT THE CULTURE CALLS THEM. That's why I said use "sweet potatoes" or "yams" whatever you can get your hands on because most will work, even if the color is lighter. The ones used in this video are called "Garnet Yams" and they're readily available at all of my local grocery stores and they have a reasonable amount of sweetness. In Black culture, (1) We use what we have and (2) We say "Sweet Potato Pound Cake" and "Sweet Potato Pie" even if we did use "yams", as we may know it, because it rolls off of the tongue easier than "Yam Pie". No need to stress over an ingredient that we are all familiar with in one way, shape, or form.

CookingWithCarolyn Do you use whole buttermilk?

[@thepr3tty116]

DON'T TRUST NOBODY'S VIDEO'S BUT HERS AND DIVAS CAN COOK. THX!

[@mrslovepink21]

I just tried this recipe and loved it!! But, Carolyn made it look soooo easy. My kitchen was a hot mess when I finished . You would have thought I cooked more than a cake. Thanks, for the recipe .👌🏾😋

[@CookingWithCarolyn]

+mrslovepink21 LOL! But you did it!

[@rozzier7293]

Girl because of you, I am so confident in the kitchen. You explain everything so well. Thank you!

[@CookingWithCarolyn]

Thanks so much and You're so welcome :D

[@taylored8819]

Right!!!!!

[@LisaCrutcher]

Here's the reason why she's so good at teaching, Rozzie R: she's designated spiritually to teach this thing and teach it well. This is why she flows very well without any uncomfortable, awkward stopping, etc. Her spirit to teach is at a 7.8 out of 10. She's not meant to be on TV, though. That would put pressure on her she's not meant to withstand. For me, I've been anointed 9 different times, serious. Am I'm still not as good as she is in speaking. This woman needs no anointing by God because she has enough, Jehovah says. She's also designated as a chef and baker; two different designations. She's supposed to make money doing this things she's been ordered to do,

My adult children and grandkids n family love this. My fiance and I made Friday for my oldest daughters sec baby shower. I did change the icing. I used one stick butter, one 8 oz cream cheese 3 cups powdered sugar, teaspoon n half of cinnamon n 1 teaspoon of pumpkin pie spice ran out of vanilla but used almond abstract beat everything together put in fridges covered. Anyways came together and it was a hit. So Thank you so much. On to the next going to try lemon cake

Cool!

[@jeanroger8863]

After 8yrs of this video, I just got done making this cake for the first time and my biggest critic (my daughter) said it was a 10/10. That says alot about this cake. Maybe it's the rum icing. Lol. Thank you

Carolyn I made this cake for thanksgiving and after 1 hour the whole cake was gone. Thank you so much! I am a new fan and I will be trying more of your recipes, so keep them coming . I have never been this excited about cooking until I found your page. I was looking to see if you had a recipe for a carrot cake ? if not I would love to see you make one Please!!! Thanks again!

[@delorisbledsoe2959]

That is a beautiful moist cake. I don't bake very often but I love sweet potatoes so I will give it a try.

[@LatteBrown]

Great cake! I made a half recipe (6 cup Bundt pan) and was rewarded with great taste and texture. My baked potato was enough for my cake with a little left over for snacking, this potato was sweet and a deep orange color. Next time, and there will be plenty of next times; I bake this recipe I will use freshly ground nutmeg instead store bought ground! Nice flavor in the glaze, couldn't taste the alcohol, just the essence of the rum. Thanks for posting such great recipes, thank you!

[@ahdelta18]

This cake was super easy to make and had an amazing taste. My family really enjoyed this cake

[@CookingWithCarolyn]

+ahdelta18 Thanks so much :)

[@Ladyteecraft]

I love desserts.

[@gwendolyndavis3174]

Wow !! I just baked this cake and my tastebuds were POPPING 😊 it’s so super moist and the sweet hint of the sweet potato is fabulous! My family loved it !! Thank you for sharing it

[@crackerjacks6789]

I made 2 of the cakes turned out very very moist . I used toasted coconut instead because some people cannot eat nuts. I used brown confection sugar instead of white confection sugar with the cream and real rum. Excellent recipe 😄😃

[@CookingWithCarolyn]

Great job!

[@brendajones3761]

Ms carolyn i love how you give all information for making your recipies,keep doing these videos.

[@mybackyardhomestead144]

I made a gluten free version of this cake and it is amazing! Other than substituting the cake flour out for Pamela’s gluten free all purpose flour, I followed the recipe for the cake but I made a homemade cream cheese icing. I made the cake on Thanksgiving and it’s now Sunday and the cake is still moist, which is an amazing thing for any GF baked good. Thanks for sharing!

[@vickihandel3620]

This recipe looks amazing! TY for sharing

[@crochetbabe829]

Wow, that cake looks so good! I wish I would have ran across this during the holiday. I love that your icing is pure white, it just looks so good. Thank you for sharing this recipe.

[@mothertwinkles4198]

[@Poulson10]

I made this cake and my God! Now it’s hit, I added my own twist !!! Thank you

[@flippingforreal109]

Thanks its looks good enough to eat all day

[@MZDenise72]

I made this cake last night and It came out delicious!!

[@iammzparka]

I made this today and it was my first time making a poundcake....it was PERFECT!!! It was so moist and the crust brought a tear to my eye! I didn't have any rum so I made a vanilla glaze instead. And, I was a little worried because I forgot the recipe called for cake flour and I didn't have any. So I ended up making my own cake flour and crossing my fingers. Lol. I'm getting up in the morning to make another one! Had to use my household as a guinea pig before serving to others. Lol. You're the best, Auntie C!

[@curlycalynna]

I made this for thanksgiving and it was a big hit. Pound cake is always better the next day so I made it the day before so that it could sit one day and man it was so good! I also puréed my sweet potatoes in my vitamix to eliminate strings. Thank you!

I must say I didn't know if this cake would taste good but I was wrong!!!! OMG it was great. the only thing I did different is i did half teaspoon of vanilla and half teaspoon of lemon extract.

I’m making your hummingbird cake for Christmas next week. I’m going to make it on Christmas Eve. I have never made a cake before. I’ve looked up so many videos to make the hummingbird cake and You are the only one that says to not add all the juice and pineapple from the crushed pineapples. I hope it turns out Amazing. My husband requested this cake. I’m nervous.

[@CookingWithCarolyn]

Don’t be nervous. Recipes differ from person to person. I couldn’t add it because I had other wet ingredients in there.

[@BridgettNesby]

During the holidays I believe I turn into a sweet potato for a little while lol!! That's all I eat! My fav from pies to cakes!!
