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

      1. 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.
      2. In a large bowl, weigh out the sugars and oil. Mix well to make a gloopy, brown goo-type substance
      3. 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.
      4. 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.
