Kumara Cake recipe please

Does anyone have a nice kumara cake recipe please
my daughter tried one that had cream cheese icing and she wants me to make one but l don't have any recipes and we live in the kumara capital, lol
Could l use a carrot cake recipe (like Motueka one) and put kumara in?
TIA

griffo4, amongst a real assortment of kumara recipes there's a recipe on the following link for "spiced kumara cake with orange glaze":-

You may be interested to know that a few years ago I recall watching a kumara cake being made on TV and the chef emphasised that the kumara should be grated by hand and NOT in a food processor - I don't recall exactly what his reason for saying that was but for some reason it's something I just haven't forgotten.

Hope the above helps. :-))

Thank you so much 245sam l will give them a try they look so nice and mouth watering
l only ever grate anything with the old hand grater so no worries about that one but thank you for letting me know about that

How did you go with the kumara cake griffo? I do kumara and bacon muffins but have not used them in making a cake before-although have done a potato chocolate cake which was lovely and moist.

Interested to read results of griffo's kumara cake. Cooks your muffins sound nice, any chance of the recipe please?

What kumara cake l made one and it vanished so fast, lol and l have requests for more now
l made the moist kumara cake from Delta (l think) l will post recipe
Moist Kumara Cake
1 1/4 cups self raising flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon each: ground cinnamon and nutmeg
1 1/4 cups peeled and grated kumara 140g, l used the gold ones
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup sugar
2 eggs
1/2 cup oil (grapeseed used by person who made this recipe)
450g can crushed pineapple, well drained

Preheat oven to 180C
Put flour, salt, baking soda, cinnamon and nutmeg in a bowl
ln a separate bowl beat together eggs, sugar and oil
Add wet ingredients with kumara and pineapple to dry ingredients
Mix well
Line a 25cm ring pan (l used a 23cm round tin) with baking paper and pour batter in
Bake for approx 30-35 minutes
Test with a skewer to see if cooked
Cool in pan

When cold ice with the following icing
1/2 cup sifted icing sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla essence
125g cream cheese (original)
Sprinkle with chopped walnuts if desired
(The icing was a bit runny so maybe more icing sugar if it lasts that long, lol)

Cooks where will l find your kumara and bacon muffins recipe?

does the kumera go black if put in food processor
the cake sounds nice. might make that today

korbo l just use my old grater as there is not alot to grate so not sure about that
l made the Motueka grain and grape carrot cake using kumara and that was really nice as well so l would say you could use your favourite carrot cake recipe and substitute kumara for carrot
