RECIPE BY NELSON @FRESH_N_GREY
Ingredients
Base Dough
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup olive oil “butter”, softened
- 1 cup olive oil
- 2 cups white sugar
- 3/4 cup brown sugar
- 2 cups cooked and mashed sweet potatoes
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 4 eggs or egg-substitute
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 almond flour
- 1/2 cup Mung Bean Protein Powder
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 2 teaspoons mixed spice
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup vanilla almond milk yogurt
- 1/2 cup toasted hazelnuts
- 1/2 cup golden raisins/sultanas
- 1/2 cup pitted & chopped dried dates
Topping - 6 tablespoons olive oil “butter”
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon maple extract
- 3/4 cup brown sugar
- 3/4 cup almond milk
- Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Spray a 12-cup bundt pan with baking spray.
- Sift together APF, almond flour, mung bean powder, baking powder, mixed spice, baking soda and salt. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream butter, oil, white sugar, brown sugar & vanilla extract until light and fluffy. Prepare the egg-substitute using the almond milk yogurt. Once thickened, add it along with the mashed sweet potatoes to the creamed mixture. Beat until well blended. The batter will look curdled. Add flour mixture to potato mixture. Mix until combined, alternating with adding the almond milk. Fold in the hazelnuts, dates and sultanas.
- Pour batter into a 12 cup bundt pan. It will be thick, so be sure to spread it evenly and tamp it on the counter to help release any air bubbles. Bake for about 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until a wooden toothpick inserted into the cake comes out clean. Cool cake for 30 minutes in the pan, then invert onto a serving plate.
- Cool completely.
- While the cake is cooling, prepare the topping by melting the butter and sugar in a skillet over low to medium heat until bubbly. Add in the vanilla extract, almond milk and pecans. Stir as it bubbles until it thickens and coats the cooking utensil well. Let cool just so.
- Poor mixture all around the top area of the cooled cake allowing for some to drip along the outside and towards the center area.
- Enjoy.
