Sweet Potato Sonker Recipe | #SpringSweetsWeek

Welcome to my third and final recipe for this year’s #springsweetsweek, my friends. Today, I’m sharing how to make a sweet potato sonker recipe.

It’s Day Two of Halloween Treats week, and it’s time for my easy Day of the Dead Cake! (Yesterday’s post: Halloween Potato Eyes)

Layers of moist chocolate cake spiced with pumpkin pie spice and instant coffee filled with gooey pumpkin pie spice caramel from sponsor, Litehouse Foods. And if you’re not a great cake decorator, worry not. Let sprinkles and a fun marshmallow sugar skull topper do the heavy lifting for you. All you’ll need to do is spread on a thin layer of luscious vanilla goat cheese (or cream cheese) frosting and then pat on a boatload of sprinkles! This is a sponsored post in support of Halloween Treats Week. All opinions are my own. Links to all our sponsors can be found in the body of the post. Don’t forget to enter the giveaway at the end of the post! This...
