MIX eggs, sugar, oil and vanilla. In another bowl mix the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, ginger and salt. Then put both together and mix until there are no lumps.
PEEL and grate the sweet potato. Add to cake mixture.
ADD the chopped walnuts and raisins.
PLACE sweet potato cake mixture in a greased baking pan.
BAKE the cake at 180C for 35 minutes or until you insert a toothpick and it comes out clean. Let the sweet potato cake cool to decorate.
FILL the sweet potato cake with powdered sugar.
If you want it sweeter, try this cream cheese frosting.
The sweet potato pie is traditional with the African-American culture. Pumpkin pie is never on the menu. I’m confused by your recipe. It seems to be preparation of a sweet potato cake which is totally different from pie and without some of the ingredients you used. Would you please clarify?
