Autumn Harvest Cake

Ingredients

1 stick butter, softened

1 cup sweet potatoes, cooked and mashed

1 apple, peeled and shredded

1 pear, peeled and shredded

2 tablespoons milk

1/4 teaspoon ground cloves

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon salt

Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.

Butter a 8"x8" baking pan.

Cream the sugars and butter in a large mixing bowl.

Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.

In a medium-sized bowl, stir together the sweet potato, apple, pear, milk, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg and cloves.

In another bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt.

Add the sweet potato mixture to the creamed mixture and stir until combined.

Add the dry ingredients, stirring just until the flour mixture disappears into the batter.

Fold in the nuts.

Spread batter into the prepared pan and bake for approximately 55 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Once cool, frost with "Cinnamon Cream Cheese Frosting."
