Directions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees . Coat a 10-inch fluted tube pan with nonstick cooking spray; set aside.
- In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, ginger, cloves and salt; set aside. Drain the sweet potatoes, reserving 2 tablespoons liquid. Place the drained sweet potatoes and reserved liquid food processor; process until smooth, scraping the sides as needed.
- In a large bowl, beat together the sweet potato puree, granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon maple flavor and oil with an electric mixer on medium speed until smooth and well blended. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Gradually beat in the flour mixture on low speed. Stir in the spiced pecans by hand.
- Pour batter into prepared pan. Bake for 55 to 60 minutes or until a wooden toothpick or cake tester inserted into cake comes out clean. Loosely lay a piece of foil over the top of cake pan for the last 10 minutes to prevent overbrowning.
- Cool cake in pan for 10 minutes. Invert cake onto cooling rack and remove pan. Cool completely, about 2 hours.
- To make the maple whipped cream cheese: In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese with an electric mixer on low speed to lighten. Add the cream, 3 tablespoons powdered sugar, maple syrup and 1 teaspoon maple flavor. Beat on medium-low speed until stiff peaks form.
- To serve cake: Dust top of cake with additional powdered sugar. Serve cake slices with dollops of maple whipped cream cheese. Very lightly dust dollops of maple whipped cream cheese with ground cinnamon.
