I'm looking for a Sweet Potato Cake recipe that was in a 1975-1980 Southern Living cookbook
It was made with raw shredded sweet potato and had coconut cream filling.
Hello Jacki,
The only sweet potato cake recipes that I can find from Southern Living are these:
Triple Coconut Sweet Potato Cake
Sweet Potato Cake with Coconut Filling & Caramel Frosting
The Southern Living website recipe archives do not appear to go back as far as 1975 – 1980.
There is another sweet potato cake recipe with coconut filling below.

Hi again Uncle Phaedrus
I come on to your site to look around and when I am searching
for recipes by ingredient, this time it’s Sweet Potatoes.
Now as I own the Southern Living 1980 Annual Recipes plus 1993 one too!
For some reason Aussie like to bring home cookbooks, I like to collect
them from second hand book shops.
In 1980 Annual there is a recipe that is very close to recipe posted in 7/24/15.

Subject: Recipe for Golden Corrals Sweet Potato Casserole
Hi, I'm searching for a recipe for a sweet potato casserole served
at the Golden Corral here in Florida. I'm looked on the web and
read some of them. But I know that there not exactly the same
because I was told my a restaurant employee that they add oats.
And I've not seen any recipe with that ingredient. I would very
much appreciate any help you can give me Thank You
Norma
Hello Norma,
Sorry, I had no success locating a Golden Corral sweet potato casserole recipe that made any mention at all of oats or oatmeal.
I did find Golden Corral sweet potato casserole recipes without oats, and there are other sweet potato casserole recipes with an oatmeal topping.
I’ll post this request
