That Sweet Potato Cake What We made That One Time
Something to do with Weekly Food Challenje?? That we’ll, and by that I mean I’ll,probably never make again. But, meh, ’tis helping me practice this code type typing type thing type type-ity type.
Ingredients
- 8floz sunflower oil
- 6oz brown sugar
- 2oz white sugar
- 4 eggs
- 12oz self-raising flour
- 7oz grated and drained sweet potatoes
- 2 thumb sized pieces of ginger, grated
- zest and juice of 2 limes
Method

- Place the zest and juice of limes in a heavy bottomed pan. Reduce over a medium heat, until there is about a tablespoon of mushy green stuff remaining.Leave to cool.
- In a large bowl, weigh out the sugars and oil. Mix well to make a gloopy, brown goo-type substance
- Add the other ingredients to this,mixing well. Add the flour last! Continue to fold the mixture for a few minutes, or use a hand mixer, to ensure plenty of air gets into the batter.
- Pour the batter into prepared tins, and bake in a pre-heated oven at 150*C,for around 45-50minutes, or until golden brown and a skewer comes out clean.
Decorate with an icing of your choice, but probably the limey one we use for carrot cakes.
