These are great for times when you have a huge craving for sweet potatoes! I used the an-nouimo variety of sweet potato from Kagoshima. Since it's a sweet variety, I reduced the sugar to 20 g and 60 g.
The sweetness was just right.

There's nothing much to it.
Adjust the sugar to taste depending on the sweetness of the sweet potato. For an 18 cm [7.1 in] diameter cake. Recipe by rencon03
