Ingredients

• 375 gram sweet potato
• 2 eggs
• 50 gram sugar
• 100 ml coconut milk
• 50 gram melted butter
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon powder
• 100 gram all purpose flour
• Tools
• a blender
• an 8"x2" round cake pan or a 9"x2" round cake pan

Instructions

1. Peel and cut sweet potato into wedges. Steam until fork tender and easily mashable.
2. Meanwhile, grease and line/flour an 8”x2” or a 9”x2” round cake pan and set aside. Also, preheat oven to 170 Celsius (340 Fahrenheit).
3. Place the steamed sweet potato wedges in a blender, along with eggs, sugar, coconut milk, melted butter, vanilla extract, salt, and cinnamon powder. Blend until smooth.
4. Transfer the sweet potato mixture into a mixing bowl. Add the flour and mix with a spatula until well combined. Pour into the prepared pan.
5. Bake in the oven for about 50 minutes to 1 hour. If using an 8” pan, it is more likely that the cake will need the whole hour.
6. Remove from oven and let it rest for 15 minutes in the pan before taking it out. Cool the cake completely on a wire rack. Cut into 8 portions.
