Description
Embrace the warmth and comfort of winter with this heartwarming cake, where the natural sweetness of sweet potatoes meets the rustic texture of cornmeal, enhanced with a zesty orange twist.
This gluten-free cake is a nod to traditional comfort foods, offering a moist, flavorful base with a citrusy aroma, making it a perfect treat for chilly winter days or festive gatherings.
Method
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Prepare a 28 cm tart dish by greasing it with non-stick spray or a bit of butter.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the sweet potato purée, sugar, orange zest, vanilla extract, and eggs with the ricotta cheese. Whisk these ingredients well to incorporate air and ensure a fluffy cake texture.
Step 3
Gradually mix in the cornmeal to the wet ingredients, ensuring there are no lumps. Finally, stir in the orange juice to add a hint of citrus flavor, enhancing the sweet potato base.
Step 4
Pour the batter into the prepared tart dish and smooth the top with a spatula. Place in the oven and bake for approximately 1 hour or until the center of the cake is set and a toothpick inserted comes out clean. If the cake seems too wobbly in the center, allow it to bake for an additional 10 minutes.
Step 5
Allow the cake to cool completely in the dish. This step is crucial as it helps the cake to set properly. Serve each slice with a dollop of mascarpone or whipped cream for an added indulgence.
