Sweet potato cake

The sweet potato cake recipe is one of my favorite! I learnt how to make it from my grandma while I was in Reunion Island. This recipe is really easy to make and is soooo yummy!

You'll need :

• 1kg of sweet potatoes (it is about 2 big potatoes, white or orange it doesn't matter)
• 100 g of flour
• 200 g of butter
• 200 g of sugar (if you are on diet you probably can forget about this recipe..)
• 3 eggs
• Optional : You can add vanilla extract and 2 teaspoon of rum

Step 1

Peel the potatoes and cut them in squares. Put them in a boiling water for about 30 minutes.

Once they're done cooking they should look like that.

Step 2

Mash the potatoes

Step 3

Add the butter and stir

Step 4

Add the sugar and stir

Step 5

Add the 3 eggs and stir

Step 6 

Finally pour the flour and stir constantly while pouring

(Oupsie I totally forgot to photograph this step!)

Step 7

Once you finished stiring and you added all the ingredient one by one, pour the mix into a buttered pan.

You can draw stripes on top with a fork.

Step 8

Put in the oven at 180° celcius for about 40 minutes

TADAAA, finish product

You can eat it while it is still warm or wait until it's cold and put it in the fridge.
