Sweet Potato and Chocolate Loaf Cake
A Low FODMAP, Dairy and Gluten Free Cake
This is a very speedy cake to throw together once the sweet potato is cooked, and it’s low FODMAP friendly, and dairy and gluten free. It can be vegan and egg-fee too if you use an egg substitute such as a flax egg or commercial egg alternative.
You can serve it by itself, or with a spoonful of yogurt or low FODMAP friendly yogurt substitute.
I hope you like it!
Ingredients
100g rice flour
100g ground almonds or Brazil nuts
1 tsp bicarbonate of soda
75g cocoa powder
200g raw cane sugar, or soft brown sugar
A pinch of salt
250g cooked, peeled & cooled sweet potato, mashed
200ml olive oil
3 eggs
Method
- Preheat the oven to 170°C fan/180°C/gas mark 4. Grease and line a 20cm round cake tin with baking parchment.
- Mix the rice flour, ground almonds, bicarbonate of soda, cocoa powder, salt and sugar in a large bowl.
- Blend the sweet potato in a food processor or blender, then add the eggs one at a time, whizzing between each addition. (You can do this by hand if you don’t have a blender or food processor).
- Pour in the oil and process until smooth.
- Add the sweet potato mixture to the dry ingredients and mix to combine.
- Pour into the prepared tin and bake for about 40 minutes, or until a skewer inserted into the centre of the cake comes out clean and the cake is firm to touch.
- Cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then remove from the tin and place on a wire rack to cool completely.
