Sweet potato cake

With fall coming in shortly and people thinking of spiced cookies, spiced drinks, and other types of October festive foods. This sweet potato cake always reminds me of October. It does take a little while to make because you have to shred a sweet potato. As we all know they very hard. This will be the most time-consuming thing if you need to grate the sweet potato. If you have a machine that can grade it for you then you are lucky!
