Sweet Potato Cake
- 250 grams Sweet potato
- 200 ml Soy milk (or milk)
- 2 Eggs
- 2 tbsp Sugar
- 2 tbsp Vegetable oil
- 2 tbsp Pancake mix
- Wash and peel the sweet potatoes and cut into round slices (the potatoes should weigh about 200 g at this point).
- Soak the potatoes in water for 5 minutes.
- Whilst the potatoes are soaking, line the cake tin with kitchen parchment paper and preheat the oven to 170C.
- Add the soy mlk and drained potatoes into a pan and simmer over low heat.
- Once the potatoes start to soften and fall apart, mash the potatoes with a fork or spoon, and keep simmering until the potatoes have a paste-like texture.
- After simmering the water will continue to evaporate as it cools as well, so it's best to stop the heat when you think the texture is a bit softer than a custard.
- Combine the eggs and sugar in a separate bowl and whisk for 1 - 2 minutes, until the mixture turns pale.
- Add the vegetable oil and whisk for a further 1 minute.
- When it is all blended in well add the sweet potato paste and mix well with the whisk.
- Add the pancake mix and keep stirring.
- Pour the batter into cake tins and bake for 30 minutes at 170C.
- The batter in the photos has been split between 2 mini pound cake tins and topped with black sesame seeds.
- They look a bit like daigaku imo ("university potatoes", a traditional sweet potato snack.
- ).
