Ingredients
- Sweet potato – 250g (after cooked)
- 3 eggs
- Yogurt (less watery)
- Sugar
- Salt
Instructions
Prepare the Sweet Potatoes:
- Begin by washing and cutting the sweet potatoes into chunks.
- Steam the sweet potatoes or cook them in the microwave with 100ml of water for approximately 6.5 minutes (adjust the time as needed).
- Once cooked, remove any excess water and peel off the skin. Add a pinch of salt for flavor.
Prepare the Batter:
- Mash the cooked sweet potatoes until they reach a soft consistency, ensuring they do not contain excess water.
- Measure out approximately 85g of yogurt, making sure it is not too watery.
- Separate the egg whites and yolks. Place the egg whites in a large bowl and add the egg yolks to the sweet potatoes.
- Mix the egg yolks with the sweet potatoes until the mixture turns a cute yellow color.
Make the Meringue:
- Beat the egg whites until they form soft peaks.
- Gradually add 1 tablespoon of sugar three times (total 3 tablespoons) while continuing to beat until a perfect meringue forms.
Combine the Ingredients:
- Divide the sweet potato mixture into 3-4 portions and gently fold them into the meringue, ensuring the mixture becomes a pretty yellow color.
Prepare the Microwave Bowl:
- Cut out parchment paper to fit the bottom of the microwave-safe bowl.
- Melt 2/3 tablespoon of butter or cooking oil in the microwave and brush it onto the bowl. Place the parchment paper at the bottom.
Microwave Cooking:
- Pour the sweet potato batter into the prepared bowl and evenly distribute it with chopsticks.
- Microwave the cake for 6 minutes, adjusting the time if necessary. Be careful not to overcook to maintain the cake’s fluffy texture.
Final Touches:
- Once cooked, insert a toothpick into the center of the cake. If it comes out clean, the cake is done.
- Place a plate over the bowl and carefully flip it to release the cake onto the plate.
- Dust the cake with powdered sugar while it’s still warm to create a sweet, candy-like coating.
