4. In a separate large bowl, mash the sweet potato, leaving only a slightly "meaty" texture.

5. Whisk together the sweet potato and the eggs.

6. Whisk in the warm milk, then both sugars, then the butter and oil, and finally, the vailla extract.

7. Stir in the dry ingredients (that bowl of flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt).

8. Spoon the batter into the prepared bundt pan.

9. Bake until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean, about 60 minutes.

10. Allow cake to cool 15 minutes before inverting and removing from the bundt pan.

11. Meanwhile, make the icing. Melt butter in a saucepan with maple syrup and milk. Remove from heat and whisk in the confectioners' sugar until smooth. Allow glaze to set for 15 minutes before drizzling over the cooled cake. Wait 15 more minutes before slicing and serving.
