Sweet Potato Cake

This is an interesting bake from Alex Goh Fruity Cakes. His recipes are always very user friendly, easy and very attainable. No frills with his step by step guide.


This is a light and sweet tasting sweet potato cake. It's rich in beta carotene and makes a good healthy afternoon tea snack!
