Winter Dessert - Sweet Potato Cake with Custard

Hello everyone,

How is the weather treating you? It has been cold and wet lately. Not very nice innit?

I was just under my duvet and I was wondering what to have for dessert. I wanted something homey and decadent. I wanted something sweet that would warm not only my stomach but my heart.

My mouth waters just thinking about my Sweet Potato Cake with custard. Mmmmmm! Its a kind of dessert you can eat any time of the year but feels even special in winter.

Sweet potato cake with its richness, earthy taste and soft texture takes me back to days when I was younger and I would scoff my face with my cake and always wanted more.

Surprisingly, it is easy to make and aroma that fills the house is just delicious.

I have attached my own recipe to making this delicious dessert. I hope you do attempt to make this wonderful dessert.

Until next time, to the foodies out there, keep on eating well.

Thank you.
