Sweet Potato Pound Cake

Pound Cake Ingredients:

2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/4 cups granulated sugar
1 cup butter or margarine, softened
4 large eggs
1 cup canned mashed sweet potatoes
1 tablespoon grated orange peel
1/4 cup milk

1/2 cup orange marmalade
Sweetened whipped cream, if desired

1. Heat oven to 350°F.
2. Combine flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt in medium bowl. Set aside.
