Ingredients
1 cup mashed sweet potatoes (about 1 medium sweet potato)
½ cup unsalted butter, melted
1 cup brown sugar, packed
½ cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1½ cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
½ cup salted caramel sauce (store-bought or homemade)
Sea salt for sprinkling
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 350°F and line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper or grease well.
2. Mash the cooked sweet potato until smooth and set aside.
3. In a large bowl, whisk together melted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until smooth.
4. Add eggs one at a time, then stir in vanilla extract and mashed sweet potato.
5. In a separate bowl, combine flour, baking powder, and salt.
6. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined.
7. Spread half of the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top.
8. Drizzle half of the salted caramel sauce over the batter and swirl gently with a knife.
9. Add the remaining batter and repeat the swirl with the remaining caramel.
10. Bake for 25–30 minutes, until edges are golden and a toothpick comes out with moist crumbs.
11. Sprinkle with sea salt while warm, let cool completely in the pan, then slice and serve.
