How To Make Korean Sweet Potato Cake Recipe?

Preparation Time: 20 mins

Cooking Time: 40 mins

Servings: 8-10

Ingredients

1 sweet potato (peeled and grated)
2 eggs
2 cups flour
1 1/2 tsp. baking powder, plus more for dusting
Honey – 4 tbsp, reserved for drizzling on the cake.
Oil – 1 tbsp, reserved for greasing the pan.
Mom’s ginger sauce – 2 ripe avocados [canned], drained, chopped, and mashed.

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius (350 F). Grease a 9×9 inch casserole pan with oil.

Step 2

Mix the flour, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl. Add eggs and mashed avocados, then mix well with a whisk until smooth and uniform. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 40 minutes or until golden brown.

Cool the cake completely before drizzling it with honey.

Step 3

While cooling, prepare the honey ginger sauce. Heat a small pan over medium heat. Add oil and let it heat up a bit. Add two chopped green onions and sauté them until they wilt slightly.

Add the drained canned sweet potato and mix well with the green onions. Cook for another 10 minutes until cooked through.

Turn off the heat and transfer the mixture to a serving bowl using a slotted spoon to discard excess oil in the pan.

Mix in the honey, ginger and season with a dash of salt.

To serve hot

Cut the cake into squares or rectangles. Drizzle with honey-ginger sauce as desired and serve warm immediately.

For the best result, slice the cake when it’s still warm (but not hot anymore) so the texture will be slightly chewy on the outside and soft on the inside.

Note:

If you don’t like spicy food, remove seeds from the peppers before adding them to the sauce. You can also adjust the number of peppers according to your personal preference.
