Three different sweets create the yummy goodness in these twists: brown sugar, corn syrup and sweet potatoes.

Expert Tips

You can soften brown sugar by sealing it in an airtight container with an apple slice for a couple days.

Walnuts would make a nice stand-in for the pecans.

Serve these moist, rich, delicious coffee cake twists on a silver platter lined with doilies at your next tea party.

My "Pastry Critics"(family and friends) thoroughly enjoyed this coffee cake. Easy to prepare, yummy and I have to double this for the "Critics" I let the pan cool a few minutes before I turn the pan upside down.

I'm in 4-H, and this recipe got me Reserve Champion (aka 2nd place!) at state fair, after I got Champion at county fair! It is sooo excellent, you just have to be careful to count how many you eat! Flipping the pan just right takes a little practice to keep any from running off the side, but it is definately worth it! I also used dark corn syrup instead of light, which gave it a much richer flavor. And sweet potatoes are really very nutritious, and take away the need for using as much sugar.
