Karyn shares her love language: Sweet potato sponge cake

I DECIDED to try out this sweet potato cake as I was baking for my hubby’s birthday. I had mashed sweet potato left from a roast dinner the night before and I whipped together a sponge cake with it. I added in spices and nutmeg – it turned out so nicely and was super easy to make!

Ingredients:

4 eggs

1 cup sugar

2 cups flour

1 cup cooked and mashed sweet potato

1 tsp bicarb

2 tsp baking powder

1 cup oil

1/2 tsp each of nutmeg, allspice and cinnamon
