I would say the lead flavor is the brown butter, with the sweet potato only lending a hint of its presence – perfect for a dessert. The only real changes I made were that I used slightly overbaked sweet potatoes (for their more caramelized flavor) instead of canned to make the puree, and I roasted my baking pecans with butter and salt, and used them within the frosting layers as well as on top. The salty crunch they provided was key to break up the frosting’s sweetness for my taste buds. The cakes themselves baked perfectly, coming out of the oven at 36 minutes and perfectly moist. The glaze proportions created the perfect consistency, and the pecans set perfectly within the glaze. I opted for gold dusting powder instead of cinnamon for a less rustic look. I wish I could post a photo. Thank you for the great recipe, and I will definitely use this as a go to brown butter cake recipe.

How does the marshmallow buttercream stand up to heat? I am trying to bake for an outdoor wedding in
the south 🙁
Thanks!

*Had thirds,* that is. And I forgot to mention I used fresh sweet potatoes that I baked and pureed rather than canned.
