Number Of Ingredients 15

2 pounds (about 3) sweet potatoes
1 1/4 cups vegetable oil
Unsalted butter, for pans
2 cups cake flour, (not self-rising), plus more for pans
4 large eggs
2 cups sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
3 tablespoons brandy
1 1/2 cups unsalted macadamia nuts, toasted, coarsely chopped
1 pound white chocolate
2 cups heavy cream

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 400 degrees. Coat potatoes with 1/4 cup vegetable oil, and place on baking sheet. Bake until tender, 30 to 40 minutes. When cool enough to handle, remove skin, and mash flesh with a fork into coarse puree.
  • Lower oven to 325 degrees. Butter two 8-by-1 1/2-inch round cake pans, dust with flour, and set aside. In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat eggs and sugar together on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes. Add remaining 1 cup vegetable oil; beat on medium speed until well combined. Add the cooled sweet potatoes; mix until combined.
  • Sift together cake flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg; mix into sweet potato mixture. Mix in vanilla and brandy until combined. Remove batter from mixer; fold in 1 cup macadamia nuts by hand.
  • Evenly distribute cake batter into prepared pans, and transfer to the oven. Bake until a toothpick inserted into center comes out clean, 40 to 45 minutes. Let pans cool on a wire rack 10 minutes. Invert cakes onto rack; cool completely, about 1 1/4 hours.
  • Meanwhile, chop white chocolate into small pieces; set aside. Bring 1 cup cream to a boil; pour over chocolate, whisking until chocolate is melted. Chill for 30 to 40 minutes.
  • When chocolate mixture has cooled, pour remaining cup cream into an electric mixer; whip on medium until soft peaks form, about 3 minutes. Fold whipped cream into chocolate mixture until fully incorporated.
  • Cut each cake layer in half horizontally, creating 4 layers. Spread 2/3 cup chocolate frosting on one layer, then stack next layer on top, and frost. Repeat frosting-and-stacking process until each layer is frosted. Spread remaining frosting on sides and top of cake. Arrange remaining 1/2 cup macadamia nuts on top of cake, and serve.

Number Of Ingredients 23

1/2 cup of Butter or Palm Shortening
1/3 cup of Coconut Sugar
2/3 cup of Sweet Potato Puree
6 Medjool Dates (about 1/3 cup)
2 teaspoons of Vanilla Extract
1/2 cup (70g) of Coconut Flour (measure by dip and sweep)
1/2 cup (60g) of Tapioca Flour
2 teaspoons of Cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon of Nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon of Powdered Cloves
1/4 teaspoon of Ginger
1/2 teaspoon of Kosher Salt
1/2 teaspoon of Baking Soda
1 teaspoon of Cream of Tartar
3 Eggs
For the White Chocolate Frosting
4 ounces of Cocoa Butter
1/3 cup of Raw Honey
1/3 cup of Coconut Butter
1 teaspoon of Almond Extract
2/3 cup of Palm Shortening
1/2 cup of Arrowroot Powder
2 Tablespoons (optionally up to 1/4 cup) of Full Fat Coconut Milk

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350F and grease cake pans with extra butter/shortening. Whisk the butter/shortening and sugar on high speed until fluffy. About 5 min. Puree the sweet potato puree, dates, and vanilla in a food processor or blender. Sift the coconut flour, tapioca flour, spices, salt, baking soda, and cream of tartar in a separate bowl. Combine the puree mixture with the butter mixture and beat until combined. Add one egg and about a third of the dry mixture and beat until combined. Repeat the previous step until all ingredients are combined. Scrape the sides and beat on high speed for about 30 seconds until fluffy. Portion batter evenly into cake pans. Bake at 350F for 30-35 minutes. For the White Chocolate Frosting Heat the cocoa butter, honey, and ΒΌ cup of the coconut butter in a double boiler until uniform. Remove from heat and add the remaining coconut butter and extract. Chill for about 10-15 minutes. Beat on high speed for about 30 seconds. Repeat the cooling and beating until the mixture appears mostly combined and is cool to touch, about 40 minutes total. Add the palm shortening and arrowroot and beat on high. Add the coconut milk in batches and beat until fluffy and smooth. You may need to add more. NOTES

Tips:

  • To ensure the cake's richness and smoothness, use high-quality white chocolate.
  • For a more intense sweet potato flavor, roast them until caramelized.
  • To achieve a moist and fluffy crumb, cream the butter and sugar until light and airy.
  • Gradually add the eggs one at a time to prevent curdling.
  • Incorporate the dry ingredients in three additions, alternating with buttermilk to avoid overmixing.
  • For a decadent and creamy frosting, whip the cream cheese and white chocolate until smooth and fluffy.
  • Decorate the cake with additional white chocolate shavings or sweet potato chips for a visually appealing presentation.
