Thanks for joining me in the kitchen today for another episode of The Soul Food Pod!

Have you checked out my new Black folks' sweet potato pie cookbook?

It's a collector's edition honoring a legacy of West African influences into my family's viral sweet potato pie recipes!  

Black folks sweet potato pie recipe, old fashioned sweet potato pie, purple sweet potato pie, and Southern sweet potato pie with cream cheese. Which one is your favorite?

My favorite is my classic Black folks' sweet potato pie. The first sweet potato pie recipe to introduce warm spicy notes of clove and ginger as part of its signature soul food spices, along with silky evaporated milk in the recipe. 

But what if you don't have evaporated milk on hand?

Can you use sweetened condensed milk instead of evaporated milk in pie?

In the words of my favorite President, Barack Obama, "Yes, we can!"  

So, in this sweet potato pie recipe, I'm sharing today, sweetened condensed milk substitutes for evaporated milk.

It's my signature Black folk’s sweet potato pie recipe with condensed milk.

This "Black folk tea cake recipe" (that's what they're called!) is an old-fashioned nostalgic Southern soul food treat! 

What you'll learn in this episode:

What is a Black folks' Southern tea cake?

African American tea cakes are a somewhat fancy Southern dessert. Little round cakes. Light, airy, and sometimes compared to soda bread or pound cake.

Tea cakes are typically served with hot tea at gatherings like weddings, christenings, and family events. Or any other pomp and circumstance dress-up occasion (which Black folks love).

Are tea cakes African-American?

It's believed that enslaved African Americans created tea cakes to reproduce the fluffy European confections that white Americans were accustomed to.

African Americans made their own version of tea cakes based on what was available to them with limited baking supplies.

What are Black folks' Southern candied yams?

Although more sweet than savory, candied yams are a side dish often topped with marshmallows after cooking in a buttery mix of seasonings and spices that elevate this soul food dish to divine perfection!

Are candied yams a Black thing?

What is the history of Southern candied yams?

Yams are a vegetable similar to sweet potatoes but come from the motherland in Africa. 

Africans were used to cooking with yams. So when they were brought to the American South as enslaved persons, the next best thing available was a sweet potato, which they also called yams.

True to Black folks' nature, they took something from nothing and elevated yams to the soul food delicacy many people love and crave today. Black folks' Southern candied yams!
