4 large eggs
1 cup mashed sweet potatoes (cooked and cooled)
½ cup sour cream
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 tablespoon cinnamon
¼ teaspoon nutmeg
For the Swirl:
½ cup brown sugar

For the Glaze:

Instructions
1. Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
2. Make the Cake Batter:
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
Add the vegetable oil, eggs, mashed sweet potatoes, sour cream, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
Beat until the batter is smooth and well combined.
3. Layer the Cake and Swirl:
Pour half of the batter into the prepared baking dish.
In a small bowl, mix the brown sugar and cinnamon for the swirl.
Sprinkle half of the brown sugar mixture over the batter in the baking dish.
Pour the remaining batter on top, then sprinkle the rest of the brown sugar mixture.
4. Bake the Cake:
Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
5. Prepare the Glaze:
While the cake is baking, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, vanilla extract, and honey until smooth.
6. Glaze the Cake:
When the cake is still warm, pour the glaze over it, allowing it to soak into the cake for a deliciously moist texture.
7. Serve and Enjoy:
Let the cake cool slightly, slice, and enjoy!
