Vegan Sweet Potato Cake image

This sweet potato cake smells like autumn thanks to cinnamon and cloves, and just happens to be vegan. There aren't any hard-to-find ingredients here, just sweet potato, sugar, flour, oil, and spices. The secret to the depth of flavor might be the coffee, but the end result does not taste like a coffee-flavored cake.

Time 1h5m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
1 cup white sugar
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon ground cloves
1 ¾ cups cooled coffee
¾ cup olive oil
¼ cup sweet potato puree
1 cup confectioners' sugar, or more as needed
1 tablespoon orange juice, or more as needed
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking pan.
  • Combine flour, sugar, cinnamon, baking powder, salt, and cloves in a bowl and mix well. Add cooled coffee, oil, and sweet potato puree; mix well. Pour batter evenly into the prepared baking pan.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 25 to 30 minutes. Remove and allow to cool on a wire rack, about 30 minutes.
  • Stir together 1 cup confectioners' sugar, 1 tablespoon orange juice, vanilla extract, and cinnamon in a bowl. Add more sugar or orange juice, if needed, to achieve your desired consistency. Drizzle icing over the top of the cooled cake.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my cake didn't rise very much. Not sure what went wrong.

The cake turned out a bit dry, but the flavor was still good. I think I might try adding some more oil or butter next time.

This cake was a bit too sweet for my taste, but otherwise it was good.

I've tried many vegan cakes before, but this one is by far the best. The sweet potato gives it a unique flavor and texture that I love.

This vegan sweet potato cake was a delight! The texture was moist and fluffy, and the flavor was perfectly balanced - not too sweet, not too savory. I'll definitely be making this again!
