- 1/2 tsp Rum
- 100 grams Biscuts or cookies
- 50 grams Butter

- Finely crumble the biscuits.

- Mix well.
- Line the tray with baking paper and fill with the biscuit mix, pressing it firmly into the bottom of the tray.
- Chill in the fridge.
- Meanwhile, cut the sweet potato into 2 cm thick slices and cook until softened.
- Once cooked, peel the skin and mash in the saucepan.
- Add the rest of the ingredients into the mashed sweet potato and mix.
- Stir over a low heat for about 2-3 minutes to achieve a smooth consistency.
- Remove from heat.
- Pass through a strainer.
- If you want lumps of potato in the bars, you can skip this step.
- Now you have sweet potato cake puree!
- Put the puree into the tray from Step 2.
- Cover with plastic wrap and smooth out the surface with your palms.
- Try to get the surface smooth as show in the picture.
- Mix the egg yolk for glazing with 1 teaspoon of water.
- Brush onto the surface evenly.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 200C for about 20 minutes until surface turns golden brown.
- Chill in the fridge first and then remove from the tray.
- I sliced the cake into 9 bars and then cut in half.
