Sweet Potato Savory Cake

Created by Chef Caroline Achard 

Sweet potatoes are a starchy, sweet-tasting, and versatile root vegetable. Often easily incorporated into many dishes, chef Caroline wanted to create a recipe for us that was perfect for holidays or any other occasion. You can bake and serve up these individual cakes for guests at your next event. 

Of course, this isn't strictly a holiday dish, you can prepare a few ahead of time for a quick and delicious lunchtime bake. Preparation is super easy and yields about 6 of these little cakes all baked in our BIO-MO140 biodegradable paper baking mold.
