Another riff on your recipe with some help from Mark Bittman and the leftover maple bourbon sweet potatoes I’d frozen after Christmas dinner.

I basically followed the Bittman recipe for the maple-pear topping and then your recipe with the substitution of the sweet potatoes for the pumpkin. Excellent breakfast!

Bea to the rescue! thank you so much, was looking for something elegant, simple and different for my annual girls holiday dinner. searched all the regular sites with no appeal for dessert. This is lovely, can not wait to serve it them!
Happy Holidays!

Thanks Lunolickaya for the feedback. Trying different versions is always welcomed. I liked the cake this way, but you can obviously have a different opinion, and that’s just as fine.

Brian,

Sorry it didn’t work out for you. Did you check whether the cake was cooked with a toothpick inserted in the middle before the end? Oven temperatures always vary, so I’d advise to always check and prolong or shorten the cooking time appropriately.

hi. made this cake, but it was done all around the outside, but raw in the middle. thought if i made it in a tube pan, it might work out better. it was beautiful on top when i unmolded it. thanks.

yes, it looks so delicious, so mouthwatering! but in fact the recipe has nothing to do with a real cake. i tried it yesterday. and i found it really surprizing that 2 apples are not enough for that huge mass of dough which you get from the ingredients given here.
so to make a good cake you need to chage the recipe:
- take 4-5 apples
- add only 1 teaspoon of baking powder
- don’t pour any liquid (buttermilk, milk, whatever)
- use a flat and wide baking tray. spread the dough thinner ’cause it will rise
