Japanese Sweet Potato Chiffon Cake

Just right, 3 huge Japanese Sweet Potato in my pantry.

Made me wanna try out chiffon cake that is incorporated with bits of sweet potato. So here is my 1st attempt. Quite worry with the dense puree of the sweet potato, gives me bad feeling about not allowing the chiffon cake to rise up.



Boil the sweet potato.

( making extra for dessert! )

Soft as mashed potato! Loving the vibrant COLOUR!!!

Nature at its best!

Into the 22cm chiffon pan. 180 deg.. 40mins

finger cross it won't sink so much

but then again.

I didn't have much hope for it to turn out very well.

And yup.

It crackk.

NVM. Will try again next attempt!

The recipe state that the potato will sink to the bottom. =)

lucky

 for chiffon cake the bottom is the top hence the diced purple sweet potato makes the chiffon cake even more appealing!!

.AWESOME. ATTEMPT.

today my baking addiction is totally satisfied

The texture of the cake is unexpectedly fluffy and light. No greasy feeling like Pandan chiffon cake gives.. Definitely would bake this more often.

 Mummy is so happy btw. Cause she is spoilt for choices for breakfast  for the week ahead.!

And this is my very hot OVEN.

without it, I will be very very very

depressed.

I got scalded my the iron rod multiple times, its really avoidable if I have worn my oven gloves.

Blame my lazyiness..

I upgraded my oven from a small- to middle- followed by LARGE.

And every time I bake, I need to wash up tons of baking utensils.
