Sweet Potato Snack Cake Ingredients

  • 1 cup unsweetened almond or oat milk if not vegan, regular milk will work
  • 1 cup maple syrup
  • ¼ cup melted vegan butter if not vegan, regular butter will work
  • ¾ cup sweet potato puree
  • 2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 2 cup regular or gluten free all purpose flour If gluten-free, I recommend King Arthur Measure for Measure gluten-free flour. Please don't substitute any other flour such as almond flour, baking flour, etc.

Cinnamon Cream Cheese Icing

  • 2 oz vegan cream cheese if not vegan, regular cream cheese will work
  • 2 tablespoon softened vegan butter if not vegan, regular butter will work
  • ¾ cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon

Instructions
 

Sweet Potato Snack Cake

  • Preheat the oven to 350. Line a cake pan with parchment paper and spray the paper with non-stick spray.
  • In a large mixing bowl, mix the milk, melted butter, maple syrup, sweet potato puree, baking powder, baking soda, and vanilla extract until well combined. Then, mix in the flour until a batter forms. Be careful not to over mix. Pour the batter into your square or rectangle pan. I find that a metal works best.
  • While the sweet potato snack cake is baking, use an electric hand mixer to mix the cinnamon, cream cheese, softened butter, and powdered sugar to make the cinnamon cream cheese icing. Spread the icing over the loaf once it's cooled but is still slightly warm and enjoy!
