Beasty Brownie with Sweet Potato & Dark Chocolate
Course Main Course
Calories 634kcal

Ingredients

  • 500 g sweet potato, peeled
  • 2 eggs
  • 100 g dark chocolate, melted
  • 2 tbsp coconut oil
  • 12 soft dates, stone removed
  • 2 heaping tablespoons good quality cacao powder
  • 75 g flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp ground vanilla
  • A pinch of salt

Instructions

  • Peel and chop sweet potatoes. Boil until tender, approx. 10-15 min. Set a side to cool. In a blender combine dates, cooled sweet potatoes, eggs, salt and vanilla. Blend until creamy and totally combined. Melt chocolate and coconut oil in a double boiler. In a bowl combine potato cream, chocolate and mix well. Add cocoa, baking powder and flour and mix until you have a creamy dough.
  • Transfer the dough to a lined or buttered baking pan (mine is 6×10 inch/15×25 cm). Bake in oven at 350 F °/175 C ° for approximately 25 min, or until a pin comes out clean.
  • Let the cake cool for at least 20 min before you slice it into pieces and serve. The cake keeps well in the fridge for 3-4 days – it will get even more dense in the fridge and become almost fudge like.
