This vintage cake plate is one of the things in my kitchen that always makes me smile!  I bought it at the base thrift shop when we were stationed at Moody Air Force Base in Georgia.  What a find!

I just love it!

And this is one of my favorite things to put IN the cake plate: Southern Living’s Sweet Potato Pound Cake!  I do love pound cake!  I always liked pound cake when I was a kid because it didn’t have icing on it.  I have since learned to like icing on cakes, but I still love a good pound cake!  And this is one of the best ones I’ve ever made.

I’ve discovered that you can use a 29 ounce can of sweet potatoes, drain it, mash the potatoes, and that will give you just about the 2 1/2 cups of sweet potato you need for the recipe.  Or if you use the 40 ounce can, you’ll have the full 2 1/2 cups and a little left over.
