Tips for Success
- Fresh Ginger vs. Ground Ginger : Freshly grated ginger adds a vibrant, zesty note to the cake, while ground ginger will give it a more mellow warmth. Use whichever you prefer!
- Sweet Potato Prep Shortcut : If short on time, microwave the sweet potatoes instead of roasting them. Pierce them with a fork, place them on a microwave-safe plate, and cook for 6-8 minutes, flipping halfway through.
- Gluten-Free & Vegan Options : To make this recipe vegan, substitute the eggs with flax eggs (1 tbsp ground flaxseed + 2½ tbsp water per egg) and use dairy-free milk.
