What an amazing recipe! I used pumpkin as I didn't have sweet potato and it was perfect. Topping it with the white chocolate ganache makes it extra decedent and delicious.
This will be in my regular rotation now!

reading through all the comments, reducing the sugar seems to be the go....everything else sounds perfect... now my question.... would it be possible to freeze this cake ? would love to make this cake for an upcoming birthday, but busy with work, so if i could make it over the weekend and freeze for later in the week, that would be perfect.... without the ganache of course...that could be made in the morning.... any help would be greatly appreciated

I made this yesterday gluten free and with dairy free chocolate and dairyfree cream. It was delicious. It was a tad sweet for me as I've cut back on my sugar however taste delicious. You can't taste the sweet potato at all. Kids and parents loved it and said it was moist. Today (one day old cake) still taste good but not as moist as first day. I'll definitely make it again

HUGE hit in our house. Lovely moist cake with wonderful caramel taste. Made a white choc buttercream as didnt have cream for the ganache. Deeelicious and given that all cakes made in lockdown are fat and calorie free what's not to like 😄

This recipe is AMAZING. I was wary of the sweet potato but you can't see or taste it at all.
I wanted a thick ganache so I used double the chocolate in the ganache.
I used a 20cm cake tin which was too small. Next time I will either halve the cake recipe or use a square tin.
100% recommend this cake.

Amazing cake!! So moist and good!...
Amazing cake!! So moist and good!
I reduced the sugar to 150g and chucked in a little more sweet potato as I just had a bit leftover. So easy to make and the cake is still moist after 4 days (yes we are slow cake eaters here). I will try reducing sugar even more next time to see how it goes. I highly recommend this recipe, especially since the inlaws loved it.
I also left out the ganache and it is still good.

Engagement cake
I used this cake recipe (minus the ganache) to make a friends engagement cake. I then had 7 requests to duplicate the cake for a birthday. engagements and now a wedding.
Tastes amazing. Just used a basic vanilla butter cream to layer and then cover. Amazing!

I tried the receipe and the only thing I changed was cut the sugar down to 90g and I used 200g milk choc. I baked it in a bundt tin for 25 mins. The cake turned out extremely dry and it was awful to eat.
