How to Prepare Pancake Cake With Sweet Potato Chocolate Frosting [Vegan]
- Pre-heat oven to 200ºC (400ºF) and line a baking tray with baking parchment.
- Cut the sweet potatoes in quarters, lengthways. Spray with a little oil. Roast for 1 hour or until fork tender.
- Cool on a wire rack before scooping the flesh out of the skins. Mash with a fork.
- Melt chocolate and coconut oil au bain-marie; i.e. place a bowl over a pot of boiling water on the stove. The heat will slowly melt the coconut oil and chocolate.
- Fold the melted chocolate into the mashed sweet potato. Add cocoa powder for a more intense chocolate flavour. Marvel at those colours.
- Set aside in the fridge until needed.
- In a small bowl mix the ground flaxseed with 6 tablespoons of water. Set aside to gel. This mixture will thicken and act as an egg replacer to bind the batter.
- Sift the remaining dry ingredients into a large mixing bowl. Fold in the vanilla paste, flax eggs and soya milk until fully incorporated.
- Grease a large, thin frying pan with a little coconut oil. Place on medium heat.
- Drop one ladleful of batter into the pan, spreading it not too thinly into a 10cm (5”) diameter circle. Cook on one side for 3-5 minutes, until small bubbles appear on the top and the sides firm up. Bravely flip (aided by a spatula if need be). Cook on the other side till firm.
- Place the pancake onto a clean plate. Repeat this process until the batter is exhausted. You should have 6 pancakes.
- Spread a tablespoon of frosting onto each pancake, save one. Stack the pancakes, frosted side up. Place the remaining pancake on top. Generously cover the sides and top of the stack with the rest of the frosting.
- Decorate with maple-roasted nuts and seeds if desired. Eat for dessert or breakfast—or whenever you damn please!
