I didn't have the pound cake mix so I made Flo Breaker's Pound Cake from the Joy of Cooking; and I used leftover candied sweet potatoes instead of plain puree. I subtracted 1 egg and 1/3 of a cup of sugar to compensate for the sweetened potatoes. This cake is amazing; very subtly scented and flavored and the cream cheese frosting is, pardon the expression, the "icing on the cake". Incredible flavor; worth every second of work.
