Okay I just made them into cupcakes. Turned out awesome . I made the frosting too, but added cinnamon and lemon juice. Oh my gosh!! I just want to eat the frosting. Lol. So delicious! Thank you!
🧡cake! The frosting sounds delicious! Having a nice cake or some type of treat in the house makes it homey. Something to have while watching tv, snack, coffee in the morning, etc.
I have beautiful japanese sweet potatoes roasting in the oven right now! Sounds like I'm making cake tomorrow. 😋 October is birthday month for us here, too! Includes mine, two of my sisters, and my father-in-law. They love vegan desserts. 💕
This is a yummy cake. I especially like the frosting, but next time I will reduce the non-dairy milk and add 2 Tbsp of lemon juice. Needs something tart to lift the flavours and give it more of a cream cheese taste. Also, I quadrupled the sweetener. It definitely isn’t sweet enough to hit the spot for the average palate.
I just made it. Looking forward to having it after dinner tonight! All I had was a regular sweet potato, so I used that. It turned out like a coffee with creamer color, not orange....love it! Wish I could post a pic here.
So I invented PLAY DOH CAKE!! I made this cake tonight. You inspired me. It turned out looking just like yours. However, I accidentally grabbed Almond Extract instead of Vanilla Extract. I thought ‘what could it hurt?’ Well, the consistency and lack of sugariness, made it taste like eating Play Doh. Oh well. Live and learn. If I added bright blue food coloring....I’d be on to something! 🤪
Hi Brittany! I so appreciate the Japanese sweet potato frosting recipe idea!!! I’m can’t wait to try making it and explore modifications with it. Thank you for this cake recipe. How many servings does this provide and what is the nutritional info? I’m also curious if banana could be used to replace some of the flour and dates.
First job is to find Japanese sweet potatoes here in Germany I have only really notice any sweet potatoes here since I went whole food plant based and found recipes with sweet potato. I will research and find some somewhere for next February which is the next birthday My partner does like chocolate so chocolate frosting might be the option.
Could you change it to spice or banana cake? Banana you would add banana's, wondering how much, and for spice what would be the appropriate spices? Thanks. Sounds like a great recipe.
Spice cake would be cinnamon, ginger, and allspice or cloves. My first thought was to swap the applesauce for pumpkin puree and make it a pumpkin spice cake. 😋
Hello. Just made it today; my husband really liked it. I'm excited to try some variations like coconut-pineapple flavor. How should I store the cake? Is on the counter at room temp fine? How many days? Does the frosting need to be refrigerated?
Thank You for the gluten free swap!! Do you by any chance have a rice pudding recipe? I have been craving it lately and I know if anyone can do a healthy version it would be you!!
Thank you for again a great recipe! Do you think I can put apples/raisins/nuts and cinnamon on top of the cake instead of frosting to make an apple pie of it?
Thank you for another great recipe. What do you feel would be a good substitute for the ww flour? I find too much oat flour makes a heavy cake. Thank you
This looks amazing. I have a question about blending the cashews. I have a Ninja blender but I can’t get my cashews to blend smooth. I tried your nacho sauce yesterday and had the same people with the cashews. Can you tell me what I am doing wrong? How long would it take to blend ? I soaked my cashews for 30 minutes. Also if you have not watched the Happy Pear they are great. Not WFPB but are vegan. One hint they have shared that when you want to get the top of the cake even, use a piece of parchment paper to smooth things out. Love your channel
HI Britney could i find a organic japenese potato at trader joes? where do you buy yours? also do you have any other raw vanilla frosting recipes on your channe?
