• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Oil a 9×13 glass pan with oil.
•  In a bowl, combine the sweet potato, eggs, oil, syrup, applesauce, and vanilla together and whisk fully.
• Add the remaining ingredients and mix into the wet until fully combined, leaving no streaks of flour.
• Pour the prepared dish, smooth the top, and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean when inserted into the center. Let cool before frosting.

For the Frosting

• To make the frosting add 12 oz softened cream cheese, 1/2 cup plain full fat greek yogurt, 1/3 cup maple syrup, 2 tsp vanilla extract, juice of 1/2 an orange, and the zest from 1/2 an orange into the base of a standing mixer.
• Using the mix attachment whisk until smooth. You'll need to scrape down the sides a few times.
• Once the cake is fully cooled, evenly spread the cream cheese frosting on top. Slice and enjoy!
