Tort czekoladowy z masłem orzechowym i batatem/Peanut butter chocolate cake with sweet potato

Peanut butter chocolate cake with sweet potato (gluten free, dairy free)

Since we’ve moved to Australia our tradition became travelling during our birthdays. We don’t celebrate that day with cake, gifts or balloons like other people. What we have instead is a beautiful scenery and schedule filled with wonderful activities (you can read about one of these birthdays on Rottnest Island in this post). The thing is I love baking cakes as much as travelling. Experimenting with flavours using tummy friendly ingredients became my passion some time ago. So, as soon as we come back from our trips, I start creating ideas for a cake in my head. Few days after, the birthday cake is usually ready. This year I chose peanut butter and chocolate to work with. Plus, I decided to put a veggie into the cream. And that’s how I created peanut butter chocolate cake with sweet potato. I invited 8 testers to try my cake. Everyone loved it and even asked for more. How great is that? To be honest I haven’t thought the flavours would work with one another so well. The cake tastes wonderful. Give it a go, please!

  2. Take the coconut cream out of the fridge and remove the lid.
