Ingredients
- 2 medium-sized sweet potatoes (250 g flesh)
- 100 g brown sugar
- 3 eggs
- 1 tbsp vegetable oil
- 50 g cocoa powder
- 100 g flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 pinch of salt
- 50 g dark chocolate chips
Instructions
- Wash the sweet potatoes thoroughly, pat dry, and pierce 8–10 times with a fork. Place them on a microwave-safe dish and microwave for 5 minutes on 800 W. Turn them over and microwave for another 5 minutes. Leave to cool for 10 minutes and scoop out the flesh with a spoon. Mash them with a fork so there are no big chunks.
- Preheat the oven to 180°C.
- Beat the brown sugar with the eggs. Add the sweet potato mash, salt and sunflower oil.
- Sieve the cocoa powder, baking powder and flour, and add to the batter. Lastly, fold in the chocolate chips.
- Transfer the batter to a lined metal baking dish (20 cm x 20 cm) and spread evenly using a spatula. Bake for 25 minutes. Allow to cool completely before serving with vanilla ice cream and chocolate sauce.
