Directions
Sweet Potato Rum Cake With Butter Rum Frosting,This delicious and decadent cake has a firm texture, closer to a bar/brownie. It was created for the Ready Set Cook #8 contest. To enjoy the full flavor of the spices and rum, make a day ahead and refrigerate overnight. Best served cold.,This is simply delicious! Even DH, who is not much into cakes, loved it. The icing alone is worth the price of admission! The cake is a dense spice cake, very flavorful and moist. It would be good even without the icing. But both together – WOW! Thanks for posting! Made for team Gourmet Goddesses, ZWT9
