Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 400 g North Carolina Sweetpotatoes puree, Covington
  • 250 g of flour
  • ½ packet of baking powder
  • 1 pinch of salt
  • 1 tsp. cinnamon
  • 1 tsp. nutmeg
  • 150 g butter
  • 180 g sugar
  • 4 eggs
  • 1 tsp. vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp. heaped tablespoon heavy cream
  • 3 tbsp. tablespoon Kasha, grilled buckwheat

Instructions

  • Peel the North Carolina Sweetpotatoes then cut it into pieces. Cook for 10 minutes in boiling water until the blade of a knife can be planted without effort. Puree it and leave to cool.
  • Mix the sifted flour and baking powder together with all the spices and salt.
  • In a second bowl, mix the softened butter and sugar evenly. Add the Sweetpotatoes puree, vanilla extract and fresh cream. Finally, incorporate the eggs one by one, then little by little, the flour mixture.
  • Butter the mold and pour the batter. Sprinkle the kasha on top of the cake and bake in a preheated oven at 180°C for one hour. Stick a knife in the center to check for doneness, it should come out with no pastry on the blade.
  • Leave to cool for 20 minutes and unmold. Serve with vanilla whipped cream for a regressive side.
