  1. Preheat oven to 350F. Line the bottom of a 8" square baking dish with parchment paper.
  2. In a food processor, mince sweet potato until it reaches a fine rice-like consistency. Then add rest of ingredients (except raisins and carrot). Blend for about 1 minute until smooth. Then stir in grated carrot and raisins.
  3. Pour batter into 8" square cake pan lined with parchment paper and bake on 350F for about 70 minutes until golden on top. You will know it is finished cooking when a knife inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
  4. Peel and cut sweet potato for the frosting. Place in a small saucepan with about 1-2" water and cover with a lid. Steam for about 5-10 minutes until soft when poked with a fork.
  5. Add steamed sweet potato and rest of ingredients for frosting to food processor and puree for 3-5 minutes until completely smooth. Optional: after pureed, press frosting through a strainer to remove any lumps of remaining lemon zest flakes for a totally smooth result. Chill frosting in freezer in a large metal bowl for about 15+ minutes or until it reaches buttercream frosting consistency and is cooled down.
  6. Frost cake as desired and top with chopped pecans (optional, but delicious).

  1. I tweaked the recipe and this is the UPDATED RECIPE: Preheat oven to 350F. Line the bottom of three seven inch cake pans with parchment paper and grease the sides with coconut oil.
  2. Mince sweet potatoes for cake in a food processor, until they reach fine rice consistency- this will be the flour base for the recipe. In a bowl or stand mixer combine all ingredients for cake batter, except the grated carrots until smooth. Then stir in grated carrots (and optional raisins).
  3. Divide cake batter between three seven inch cake pans and bake on 350F for about 60 minutes until golden on top. Tip: You will know the cake is finished baking when a toothpick when inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. Allow cakes to cool before frosting.
  4. For the frosting: Peel and slice sweet potatoes into rounds and steam in a large saucepan with about 2-3 inches water on high for 5-10 minutes until soft. Then drain hot water.
  5. Add steamed sweet potatoes and all other ingredients for frosting in a food processor or high speed blender and puree for about five minutes until completely smooth.
  6. Chill frosting in freezer in a large metal bowl for about 15+ minutes or until it reaches buttercream frosting consistency and is cooled down. Stir frosting then put through a mesh strainer- to remove any flecks of lemon zest, so it's perfectly smooth.
  7. Assemble and frost cake, top with chopped pecans (optional) then serve. There will probably be leftover frosting. Store leftovers in fridge or freezer.

Frosting: This is the coconut oil salted caramel frosting I used in the middle layer of this cake. You can get it here. You can also use the chocolate frosting I used on the outside (see recipe for how to make) or any other frosting you love!

Ingredients Cake Frosting Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350F. Line the bottom of four spring form cake pans with a cut out circle of parchment paper (6 inch pans). Lightly grease the edges of the pans with coconut oil.
  2. In a food processor (or by hand) combine all ingredients for the cake batter (except chocolate chips) until smooth then stir in chocolate chips (optional).
  3. Divide batter equally between the four cake pans and bake on 350F for 18 minutes, then remove and cool on a cooking rack until room temperature (you can pop them into the freezer to speed up the cooling process).
  4. In a double boiler, melt ingredients for frosting over a low simmer until the chocolate has just melted, then remove it from the double boiler; you don't want to overcook the chocolate- remove it as soon as the chocolate melts! Whip the frosting with a spatula until smooth then chill in fridge for 5-10 minutes (stirring every few minutes) until the frosting reaches frosting consistency. Note: If the frosting becomes too thick, you can melt it slightly with a hair dryer and whip it again.
  5. Layer the chocolate cake on a cake stand, filling each layer with either: chocolate frosting or coconut oil caramel frosting- that's what I did this time, see notes for the one I used. Frost the outside of the cake with chocolate frosting. Optional: top with shaved chocolate.
