### **How to Make Sweet Potato Honey Bun Cake**
#### **Step 1: Prepare the Sweet Potatoes**
Start by boiling or baking the sweet potatoes. If boiling, peel and chop the sweet potato, then place it in a pot of water. Boil until tender, about 10-12 minutes. Once soft, drain and mash the sweet potatoes until smooth. Set aside to cool slightly. If you’re baking the sweet potato, pierce it with a fork and bake at 400°F for 45 minutes to 1 hour until soft. Scoop out the flesh and mash.
#### **Step 2: Make the Cake Batter**
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease and flour a 9×13-inch baking dish. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
In another bowl, whisk together the sugar, vegetable oil, eggs, mashed sweet potatoes, vanilla extract, and milk until smooth and well combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. The batter will be thick and creamy.
