Cooking Steps
• Preheat oven to 180°C/160°C fan-forced. • Grease and line the baking tin with baking paper. • Grate sweet potato.
• In a large bowl, combine grated sweet potato, basic sponge mix, sweet golden spice blend, the salt and the brown sugar (see ingredients). • Add the vegetable oil and egg and whisk, until well combined. Transfer cake batter to lined baking tin. • Bake, until firm to touch, 45-50 minutes.
TIP: To check if the cake is done, stick a knife or skewer in the centre and it should come out clean.
• When cake has 5 minutes remaining, roughly chop walnuts. • Heat a small saucepan over medium heat. Heat caramel sauce with a splash of water, whisking, until it starts to bubble, 2-3 minutes.
• When the cake is finished baking, immediately poke a few holes in the cake. Pour over caramel sauce. • Transfer sweet potato cake to a serving plate or board. Top with walnuts. • Slice cake and divide between plates. Enjoy!
