I have used sweet potatoes and punkin interchangeably in punkin bread forever. Is it an actual cake or is it more like punkin bread. If it is like punkin bread, then just use the recipe from the punkin can, but substitute mashed sweet potatoes instead.





Or, I have also substituted grated sweet potatoes for carrots in carrot cake. (but I never told anyone about it!!) I guess the secret is out.
