# Instructions:
01 -
Preheat your oven to 350°F and coat a 9x13 pan with cooking spray so nothing sticks.
02 -
In a big bowl, stir together the flour, baking powder, sugar, nutmeg, and some salt.
03 -
In a separate smaller bowl, blend the mashed sweet potatoes with milk, beaten eggs, and vanilla flavor.
04 -
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ones and gently mix until combined. Add in the melted butter last and stir lightly.
05 -
Combine brown sugar, flour, and cinnamon in a bowl. Using a fork, work in softened butter until it's crumbly.
06 -
Spread the batter into the baking dish, sprinkle the crumble on top, then lightly swirl a knife for a marbled look.
07 -
Place in the oven for 35-40 minutes. It's ready when a toothpick poked in the center comes out clean.
08 -
Blend powdered sugar with milk, maple syrup, vanilla, cinnamon, and pecans (if using), and pour it over the still-warm cake.
