A cozy and moist gluten-free Sweet Potato Ginger Cake, perfect for any season. This recipe combines the natural sweetness of roasted sweet potatoes with the spicy warmth of fresh ginger for a comforting and wholesome dessert.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups mashed sweet potatoes (roasted until fork-tender)
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup maple syrup (or honey)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 2 cups almond flour
  • Optional: 1/2 cup chopped nuts (walnuts or pecans)
  • Optional: 1 cup chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Wash and pierce sweet potatoes, roast on a parchment-lined baking sheet for 45-50 minutes until fork-tender. Cool slightly, peel, and mash until smooth.
  2. In a large bowl, combine mashed sweet potatoes, eggs, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and grated ginger. Whisk until smooth.
  3. In a separate bowl, mix almond flour, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
  4. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until a thick batter forms. Stir in optional nuts or chocolate chips if using.
  5. Grease an 8-inch round cake pan. Pour batter into the pan and spread evenly.
  6. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out moist but clean.
  7. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • This cake is naturally gluten-free.
  • Ensure sweet potatoes are roasted until very tender for optimal sweetness and moisture.
  • If your cake seems dense, avoid over-mixing the batter.
  • Store cooled cake in an airtight container.
  • Can be enjoyed plain or with toppings like whipped cream.
