What Makes This Cake Special?

The secret ingredient is one you might not expect—sweet potato! It gives this cake the rich, moist, fudgy texture that feels just like a traditional flour-heavy cake. But don’t worry, you won’t taste the sweet potato at all. It simply creates a smooth base that pairs perfectly with the rich cocoa flavor.

 

 

 

 

 

And the frosting? It’s sugar-free, silky, and decadent—everything you’d expect from a bakery-style chocolate frosting, but without the guilt.

 

 

 

 

 

This cake tastes better AFTER it’s been refrigerated so you can bake it the day before a big event and serve it the next day.

 

 

 

I use two 9-inch circle cake pans for this recipe. These cake pans have become a staple in our baking cabinet and product the best baked goodies!

 

 

 

 

🍫 Ingredients for the Cake:

• 1 cup cooked and pureed sweet potato (no skins)
• 6 large eggs
• 1 cup organic 100% pure maple syrup (I use this brand)
• 1 cup of melted butter
• 2 tablespoons of vanilla extract
• 1 cup cocoa powder
• 1.5 teaspoons of pure monk fruit sweetener
• 1/4 cup of coconut flour
• 2 tablespoons of psyllium husk powder
• 1 tsp baking soda
• 1 tsp salt

🍫 Sugar-Free Chocolate Frosting:

• 1 cup butter, softened
• 2/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 3 tbsp milk of choice
• 1/2 cup of honey (add more if you’d like, depending on your sweet tooth)

 

📝 Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease two 9-inch round cake pans (I prefer these cake pans).
2. In a large bowl or stand mixer with a whip attachment, mix together the wet ingredients.
3. Stir in the dry ingredients until smooth.
4. Use a spatula to scrape the sides and bottom to make sure everything is combined.
5. Pour the batter into your prepared pans and gently tap the pans on the counter to spread the batter evenly.
6. Bake for 20-23 minutes, or until the center is set and a toothpick comes out clean. The cake will resemble a sponge-like texture when you touch it.
7. Let the cake cool completely before frosting.
8. In a small bowl or stand mixer, mix all the frosting ingredients with a whisk (or whip attachment) until smooth and fluffy. Add a little extra milk if needed to reach your desired consistency.
9. Once the cake is cool, generously frost the layers.
10. Place in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours – overnight to get the fudge consistency. Slice and serve!
