Hearty root vegetables are a staple for fall and winter. We love them roasted or mashed with savory seasonings, but sweet potatoes are also the perfect nutrient-dense vegetable to add to any sweet dessert. They pair so well with fall spices like cinnamon, ginger, and nutmeg. This sweet potato cake is delicious enough to enjoy as dessert or the perfect pairing with tea at breakfast.
This is one reason why many people will blend coconut oil or ghee directly into their morning coffee or matcha to help provide dense, usable energy without consuming a full breakfast. It’s popular to pair this withintermittent fasting (the concept of going 12+ hours without eating) since it allows you to take in some energy without adding solid food and completely breaking a fast. Coconut oil is also dense with lauric acid, which produces monolaurin after it is digested. This compound can help provide a good immune response, making it a great food to consume year-round but especially during cold season.
Sweet potatoes for the win
We love both the flavor and the nutrients sweet potatoes add to this bundt cake. You’ll get a healthy dose of fiber in this sweet potato cake with the addition of sweet potatoes which helpskeep digestion regular. Sweet potatoes also help feed healthy gut bacteria. They’re also high in beta carotene, an antioxidant that the body converts to vitamin A once digested. It’s also important to consume beta carotene with a dose of fat since vitamin A is a fat-soluble vitamin (another benefit of using coconut oil or ghee in this recipe).
Preheat oven to 350. Peel sweet potatoes. Boil or steam sweet potatoes until they are tender and easily pierced with a fork. Mash potatoes and measure out 1.5 cups.
In a large bowl, mix flour, baking powder, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and salt.
Thoroughly cream together (or use a high-speed blender) coconut palm sugar, maple syrup, ghee, almond milk, sweet potato, and vanilla. Slowly add to the dry ingredients and mix until fully combined.
Pour batter into a greased bundt cake pan. Bake for 45-55 minutes, or until an inserted toothpick comes out clean. Let the sweet potato cake cool before serving. If using the glaze, whisk together ingredients and drizzle once cake is fully cooled.
