It was baking group time again on Friday evening, and our host for the evening, Sarah, taught us all how to make a Chocolate and Sweet Potato Torte. The idea of having sweet potato in a chocolate cake intrigued me and I really wasn’t sure how the cake would turn out but I was happy to give it a go.
The recipe was easy enough to make, but it did take a while. We started with the icing – melted dark chocolate mixed with sugar and crème fraiche, which was delicious enough just to eat on its own! Then we made our sponges – including adding in the mashed sweet potato. Once cooked and cooled, the cake was iced with the icing from earlier, and I decorated it with a few mini eggs.
I absolutely loved this cake, as it was really moist and really chocolatey. Definitely what I’ll be making next time I need a chocolate cake!

The cake sounds good, but what was the idea of putting sweet potato in the cake mix?
ReplyDeleteWe were just following the recipe - but the cake was really moist, which I think the sweet potato helped, and it probably made it a slightly healthier chocolate cake!
