Ingredients

  • Sweet Potatoes (about 2 medium-sized)
  • Ground Ginger (1 tbsp)
  • Eggs (3, large)

  • Almond Flour (1 cup)
  • Baking Powder (1 tsp)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Sweet Potatoes: Wash and peel the sweet potatoes, cut them into chunks, and boil until fork-tender (about 15 minutes). Drain and mash until smooth.
  2. Preheat the Oven: While sweet potatoes are cooling, preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line an 8-inch round cake pan.
  3. Combine Ingredients: In a bowl, mix the mashed sweet potatoes, eggs, maple syrup, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  4. Mix in the Dry Ingredients: Add almond flour, ground ginger, baking powder, and salt to the wet mixture. Gently fold until just combined.
  5. Bake It Up: Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 30-35 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean.
  6. Let It Cool: Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Serve dusted with powdered sugar or with whipped coconut cream. Try adding nuts or chocolate chips for variations.
