I made a side dish for Easter I thought I'd share with all of you. It may not look like that much in the picture but it has a nice cakey texture and a good mix of sweet and savory aspects. It is a sweet potato souffle that is good for the holidays or just general enjoying. You can also substitute pumpkin or cooked carrots in the recipe if you prefer.

I might add this is what I'd call a "Cheater Souffle" due to the fact it is not made like a traditional souffle at all. Instead while it uses a good amount of eggs, it uses some baking powder to help provide the rise. Traditional souffles tend to use whipped egg whites folded into the mixture that help to give it lift.

Sweet Potato Souffle

29 oz Canned Sweet potatoes (Well drained
2/3 cup melted butter
6 large eggs
1 cup sugar
6 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 tsp baking powder
2 tsp vanilla extract
1 Tbsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp nutmeg
1/4 tsp cloves

Combine all ingredients in a blender or food processor and process until smooth. Transfer all to a 4 quart, greased, baking dish (Mixture will probably only cover about half the bowl in height, that is OKAY, as it rises a lot.) Bake in a 350 degree over for about fourty-five to fifty minutes. The mixture will rise a LOT and bulge in the center. When it cools the center should fall a bit, this is normal. It's best to serve when hot and fluffy out of the oven if possible. Great served with a little maple or bourbon sauce on it as a sweet and savory side dish!

Enjoy and Happy Easter!
