Foodie Friday: Riko’s Sweet Potato Cakes

For this week’s Foodie Friday, our Japanese student Riko made a traditional Japanese dessert; Sweet Potato Cake

.

These cake-like sweet treats are perfect for enjoying as a morning or afternoon snack, or as a dessert, and are much more nutritious than most other cakes.

Ingredients:

  • 1 sweet potato
  • 10g butter or margarine
  • 20g sugar
  • 20g milk(or cream)
  • egg yolk (for glazing)

Method:

  1. Peel and cut the sweet potato and soak in water for 3 minutes
  2. Microwave the sweet potato in a microwaveable dish until soft.
  3. Mash the potato and add the butter, sugar and salt while it is still hot
  4. Add some milk (or cream) in order to give the mash a firm but pliable texture
  5. Mould into crescent shape. This should make about 2-3 shapes depending on the size of the potato used.
  6. Put the sweet potato cakes onto some parchment paper and glaze with the slightly beaten egg yolk
  7. Bake in the oven for 10 minutes at 180c, depending on the type of oven, adjust cooking time accordingly
  8. Enjoy!
