8 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into quarters
1 Tbsp vanilla extract
3-4 heaping Tbsp brown sugar
¼ tsp nutmeg
½ tsp kosher salt
¼ cup orange juice or orange-flavored liqueur
8 oz mini marshmallows
1 box yellow cake mix
2 sticks margarine or butter, melted
Boil sweet potatoes in large pot of water until tender, around 20-25 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
Drain the sweet potatoes and mash in a large bowl. Add vanilla, brown sugar, nutmeg, salt and orange juice or orange-flavored liqueur and mix well.
Grease a 9×11 baking dish. Layer half of the sweet potato mixture evenly in the baking dish.
Sprinkle marshmallows over the top. Add remaining sweet potato mixture on top of marshmallows and spread evenly using an off-set spatula or knife.
Sprinkle yellow cake mix evenly over the top of sweet potato mixture. Pour melted butter or margarine evenly over the top of the cake mix.
Bake for 60 minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature.
