Recipe's preparation

    Caramel Mud Cake
  1. Preheat your oven to 180 degrees Celcius or 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease and line a round 20cm cake tin.

     

    Puree the sweet potato flesh and dates until smooth, speed 8 for 10 seconds.

    Add the remaining ingredients in the order listed above, mix until well combined, 10 seconds, speed 6.

     

    Pour the mixture into a prepared tin and bake for 45 minutes or until the top is golden and an inserted skewer comes out cleanly.

    Allow the cake to cool slightly before removing from the cake tin and placing the cake onto a cooling rack. Cool the cake completely prior to icing.

  2. Caramel Frosting
  3. Blend all ingredients until smooth, 5-10 seconds on speed 7-8.

    Pour the mixture directly over the cooled cake for a runny icing or refrigerate the mixture and allow it to set slightly for a thicker frosting consistency.

    I really wanted to like this but it was well below expectations.
    Followed the recipe exactly (using 500g roasted sweet potato flesh from what others have deciphered) and found texture to be very dense and not cake like at all.

    I didn't have high hopes for this cake, especially when I was putting it in the tin. Was I ever wrong. Absolutely delicious, I did add 30g coconut sugar for the sweet tooth and added lemon zest to the frosting. II used 2 raw medium sized sweet potatoes.

    Hey Wendy...I went to look at the original recipe. This is the entry for sweet potato

     

    500 grams flesh of oven baked sweet potatoes (I used a 650 gram raw weight sweet potato)

    Yes I'd like to know more about the sweet potato too. Is it precooked???

    I love the look of this recipe but am hoping you can advise approximately how many grams of sweet potoato is used and if not, the approximate size of the sweet potato used - they come in varying sizes and I am not sure to go small, medium or large.  I see in another (not so healthy) recipe, 250g of sweet potato is used....would that quantity resemeble what is used in your recipe.  Thank you, I am keen to hear back and even keener to make this.  Kind regards, Wendy
