Sweet potatoes and white chocolate go well together. I wanted to make a sweet with nuts, so I tried making this.
I made it so that it would have a moist finish, for my husband who is not fond of sweet potatoes. He ate it saying "this is the most delicious sweet potato cake I've ever had".

It's a heavy batter, so please spread it around well once it's been put into the mold. For one 15 cm [5.9 in] square mold. Recipe by chokomi513

Steps

1

Slice the sweet potato into 1cm thick slices, peel, and soak in water for 5 to 10 minutes to get rid of any bitterness.
2

Roast the nuts lightly in a toaster oven on the weak setting (500 W). If the nuts are whole, chop them up. (The nuts in the photo are macadamias.)
3

Chop up the A. white chocolate, and break up the B. white chocolate with your hands.
4

Wrap the soaked sweet potato slices in plastic film, and microwave at 500 W for about 3 minutes and 30 seconds until tender.
5

Put the microwaved sweet potato and the B. white chocolate in a bowl with the butter, and mash up while still hot. Add the B. milk also and mix well.
6

Put the A. butter in another heatproof bowl. Microwave for 30 seconds at 500 W, take out and cream together with the sugar.
7

Add the beaten egg into the Step 6 mixture in several batches, mixing well. Preheat the oven to 170°C.
8

Combine the cake flour and baking powder and sift into the the Step 7 mixture. Fold in with a rubber spatula, and when it's more or less mixed, add the A. milk and mix again.
9

Add the mashed sweet potato from Step 5, the chopped nuts and the A. chocolate and mix.
10

Put the batter into a kitchen parchment paper lined mold, and spread it out so that it's level.
11

Bake in a preheated 170°C oven for about 30 minutes. Take it out of the mold, and cool on a rack.
12

Cut into pieces once it's cooled down. (If any are left over, put the pieces in a plastic bag and freeze. Re-heat in the microwave and they'll become fluffy and delicious and again.)
