Let’s get cooking

Method

Preheat the oven to 180°C, conventional heat. Line an approximately 15 cm round tin. Blend the cooked cooled sweet potato with eggs, sunflower oil, sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, cocoa, flour and baking powder until smooth.
Pour into the tin, filling no more than three quarters high. Bake for about 50 minutes; test the centre with a skewer and bake a little longer if wet batter remains.
Cool slightly before unmoulding, then cool on a rack for about 30 minutes. Cut into eight slices.
