Sweet Potato Tea Cake

This recipe is one of the many standouts from Elizabeth Prueitt and Chad Robertson’s Tartine: A Classic Revisited. Instead of icing, this spiced loaf is blanketed in a fluffy vanilla meringue, which bakes up crisp on the outside and chewy on the inside. Puréed, boiled sweet potatoes give the cake its earthy sweetness and rich orange color, but we also tested the recipe with canned pumpkin purée, which can be used in a pinch. Be sure to let the cake fully cool so you get a beautiful, clean slice.
