PIN IT

Let’s turn this simple mix into something magical.

Step 1: Preheat & Prep

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease or line your baking pan.

Step 2: Prepare the Sweet Potato

Make sure your sweet potato is soft and smooth—roasted or steamed works best. Mash until completely lump-free.

Step 3: Mix Wet Ingredients

Add the eggs, honey (or maple syrup), and vanilla to the mashed sweet potato. Mix until smooth and creamy.

Step 4: Add Dry Ingredients

Stir in cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix until you get a thick, glossy batter—it should look like classic chocolate cake batter.

Step 5: Bake

Pour into your prepared pan and smooth the top. Bake for 25–30 minutes, until set but still slightly soft in the center.

Step 6: Cool & Slice

Let it cool completely—this is where the magic happens. The texture sets into that perfect fudgy consistency.
