For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a handful of chopped pecans or walnuts to the batter. Ensure your sweet potato puree is smooth and free of lumps for the best cake texture. If you don’t have Neufchâtel cheese, cream cheese can be substituted. To prevent the top from over-browning, loosely tent the cake with foil during the last 20 minutes of baking. This cake is delicious on its own, but it's also wonderful with a dusting of powdered sugar, a simple glaze, or a dollop of whipped cream.
