2 cups mashed sweet potatoes (about 2 medium)

3 large eggs (room temperature)

½ cup coconut sugar (or brown sugar)

¼ cup maple syrup (or honey)

⅓ cup melted coconut oil (or butter)

1 tsp vanilla extract

1 ½ tsp ginger pdr

1 tsp cinnamon pdr

½ tsp nutmeg pdr

½ tsp baking soda

½ tsp baking powder

¼ tsp salt

Optional Add-ins & Toppings:

½ cup chopped pecans or walnuts (for crunch)

Candied ginger pieces (for garnish)

Whipped coconut cream or caramel/maple glaze

Method

Roast the Sweet Potatoes: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Prick sweet potatoes with a fork, roast for 45–60 minutes until soft. Let cool, scoop out flesh, and mash until smooth.
 

Prepare the Batter: In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, coconut sugar, maple syrup, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract. Stir in mashed sweet potatoes until combined.

Add Dry Ingredients: Sift in ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Gently fold until just combined. Stir in optional add-ins if using.
 

Bake the Cake: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line an 8-inch round cake pan. Pour in the batter, smooth the top, and bake for 35–45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
 

Cool & Serve: Let cool for 15 minutes in the pan, then transfer to a wire rack. Serve as is or top with whipped cream or glaze.

 

Notes

Roasting Sweet Potatoes: Enhances sweetness and prevents excess moisture.
 

Spice Adjustment: Add more ginger for a spicier kick or a touch of cardamom for variation.
 

Storage: Keeps for 2 days at room temp, 5 days in the fridge, or 3 months frozen.
 

Vegan Option: Use flax eggs and maple syrup instead of honey.
