Sweetpotato cake
Sweetpotato
Component
- Sweet potatoes
- Sweet potatoes are the key ingredient in this recipe. I recommend using naturally sweet ones, but if they lack sweetness, you can add a sugar alcohol like allulose to enhance the flavor. Make sure your sweet potatoes are fully cooked-if using raw sweet potatoes, slice them thinly and microwave them in a heatproof container for about 8 to 10 minutes until they are soft.
- Eggs
- Eggs help bind the sweet potatoes together, giving the cake structure. They prevent the mixture from becoming too crumbly while also adding moisture and enhancing the overall flavor. Be sure to mix the eggs well with the sweet potatoes for a smooth texture.
- Milk
- Milk plays a crucial role in making the sweet potato cake soft and moist. When microwaving, a mixture of just sweet potatoes and eggs can turn out dry, but adding milk ensures the cake remains tender and easy to eat. Together, the sweet potatoes, eggs, and milk create a perfectly balanced texture.
Here comes the story behind the recipe
Sweetpotato cake
Ingredients:
- 3 small sweet potatoes (about the size of two finger joints)
- 50ml milk
- 2 eggs
- Butter or cooking oil
- Allulose (optional)
Instructions:
Step 1 Microwave the sweet potatoes for about 3 minutes to warm them up. (If they are already warm, you can skip this step.)
Step 2 Mash the softened sweet potatoes thoroughly.
Step 3 Add 2 eggs and 50ml of milk to the mashed sweet potatoes. Mix well until you achieve a slightly thick consistency.
Step 4 If you prefer a sweeter taste, add allulose to taste. (Sweet potatoes are naturally sweet, but if they aren't sweet enough, a little allulose can enhance the flavor.)
Step 5 Grease a microwave-safe container with butter or cooking oil to prevent the cake from sticking.
Step 6 Pour the mixture into the container, cover with plastic wrap, and microwave for about 5 minutes.
Step 7 Insert a chopstick into the cake; if it comes out clean, the cake is done. Note: Let the cake cool at room temperature for about 1 hour for a firmer texture.
Reviews:
- This recipe is amazing because it makes cake-making so easy with sweet potatoes! The combination of eggs and milk removes the dryness of plain sweet potatoes, creating a moist and satisfying dish.
Adding low-sugar chocolate sauce or whipped cream would make it even more delicious. The texture of the cake can vary depending on how much you mash the sweet potatoes. If you prefer a chunkier texture, mash them less.
If you want a completely soft and moist cake, mash them thoroughly before mixing.
Either way, it's a great way to enjoy sweet potatoes in a new and tasty form!
