vegetable cooking spray
All-purpose flour
1 cup butter, softened
3 cups sugar
6 large eggs, separated
1 1/2 cups mashed cooked sweet potatoes

1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon salt

Coat 3 (9-inch) cakepans with cooking spray; dust lightly with flour. Set

Add egg yolks, one at a time, beating until blended after each addition. Beat
in mashed sweet potatoes and next 6 ingredients, adding each ingredient one at
a time. Add pecans and 3 cups flour, beating just until blended.

Beat egg whites in a separate bowl at high speed with an electric mixer until

Spread Coconut Filling evenly between cake layers. Gradually pour about 1/2 cup
Caramel Frosting on top of cake, spreading over top and sides with a small
spatula. Place cake in refrigerator, and chill remaining Caramel Frosting 45
minutes. Pour another 1/2 cup Caramel Frosting on cake, spreading over top and
sides. Chill cake and frosting 15 minutes. Repeat procedure with remaining
frosting, 1/2 cup at a time. Store cake in refrigerator.
