I never knew a dessert could fit me so well! Combined two of my all time favorite foods to create this SWEET POTATO PEANUT BUTTER CAKE! She’s light, fluffy, and full of flavor – not to mention, she’s topped with a 2 ingredient chocolate frosting that will knock your socks off. Oh yea – so three of my favorite foods, chocolate, sweet potato and peanut butter!
Like most of my desserts, this cake is gluten and dairy free – made using cassava flour (provides one of the best textures) and no dairy at all! You actually only need 7 ingredients to make this cake! Perfect for your first (or next) FALL get together, or just for. Wednesday evening 🙂
