- Preheat oven to 180 degrees C. Grease and flour a ring tin. Sift together flour, baking powder, cinnamon, bicarb soda, nutmeg and salt. Set aside.
- In large mixing bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add mashed sweet potatoes and vanilla. Beat until well blended. Add eggs, one at a time (the batter will look curdled). Add flour mixture to potato mixture. Beat on low until combined.
- Pour batter into tin. Bake for about 1 hour and 20 minutes, or until a skewer inserted into cake comes out clean. Cool cake for 20 minutes in the pan then invert onto serving plate.
- To make the glaze: in a small bowl, combine icing sugar with 3 to 5 teaspoons orange juice to achieve drizzling consistency. Spoon over warm cake and sprinkle with orange zest if desired.
