    FOR CAKE

    • 1 cup/160 gm Whole wheat flour
    • 1 cup/254 gm Mashed Sweet Potato
    • 3/4 cup/114 gm Sugar (we have used shakkar. You can use any kind of sugar)
    • 3/4 to 1 cup warm Milk (we have used oats milk)
    • 1/4 cup Oil (plus extra for greasing)
    • 1/2 tsp baking soda
    • 1/2 tsp baking powder
    • 1 tsp spice mix (or see note no. 6 below)
    • Pinch of salt

    FOR MAKING GLAZE (optional step)

    • 1/2 cup milk (used oats milk)
    • 2 tbsp powdered sugar (used shakkar)

    Instructions
     

    MAKING OF CAKE

    • Grease a bundt pan with oil and keep aside.
    • Take a bowl and add sugar, oil and initially only 3/4 cup of milk. (See note no. 5 below).
    • Whisk them very well.
    • Now add mashed sweet potatoes.
    • Give it a good mix and put on rest for 10 minutes.
    • After 10 minutes, place a sieve over the bowl and add flour, salt, baking powder, baking soda and spice mix.
    • Sift the ingredients into the bowl.
    • Give them a mix using cut and fold method. If the batter is too much thick, you can gradually add more (oats) milk to maintain the consistency.
    • Pour the batter into bundt pan.
    • Tap the pan twice to release air bubbles.
    • Bake in preheated oven @180°C for 35 to 40 minutes in the middle rack of the oven with both the rods on.
    • Take out of the oven and insert a toothpick in the cake. If toothpick comes out clean means cake is perfectly baked.
    • Let the cake cool down completely before inverting.

    MAKING OF GLAZE

    • Take oats milk in a bowl.
    • Mix sugar in it.
    • Microwave for 1 minute on high power (900). In case you don't have microwave, simmer on low heat on stove top for a minute or until milk gets slightly thick.
    • Drizzle the glaze over the cake and serve.

    Notes

    1. Not necessarily Bundt pan. You can use any cake tin of 7 inches size.
    2. To get 1 cup of mashed sweet potatoes, we have used about 1/2 kg of sweet potatoes.
    3. For a smooth texture, you can run the mashed sweet potatoes through a blender.
    4. If you are not making a vegan cake, feel free to use dairy milk and butter in place of oats milk and oil respectively.
    5. The quantity of milk is slightly uncertain depending on the moisture level of sweet potatoes. That is why at the beginning, only 3/4 cup milk is added. If at last you feel that batter is too much thick, you can add more milk, as already suggested.
    6. If don't have ready made spice mix, then add 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon powder, 1/4 teaspoon of ground cloves and 1/4 teaspoon of ground nutmeg.
    7. This is the oats milk which is used in making glaze also and oats milk gets thicken on heating. But in case you are using dairy milk, you need to add less milk and more powdered sugar because dairy milk doesn't thicken on heating.
