Preparation

1

Preheat the oven to 180C / 160C Fan / Gas Mark 4. Line a 2lb loaf tin and a baking tray with non-stick parchment paper. 

2

On the lined baking tray, place the sweet potato and pierce it all over with a fork. Bake for 40-45 minutes or until tender.

3

Allow the sweet potato to cool slightly before slicing in half. Spoon the inside of the sweet potato into a large bowl and mash until smooth. Discard the potato skins. 

4

In a large bowl, whisk together the sugar and the vegetable oil. Add in the eggs and whisk until combined. 

5

In a bowl, add the Dr. Oetker Extra Dark Chocolate chips and the flour, toss until the chocolate chips are coated in flour. 

6

To the egg mixture, add the flour, chocolate chips, bicarbonate of soda, salt and water. Mix until just combined.

7

Add in the mashed sweet potatoes and stir until just mixed.

8

Pour the mix into the prepared loaf tin and bake for 60-65 minutes or until a skewer inserted comes out clean. 

9

Allow the loaf to cool for 10 minutes in the tin before transferring to a wire rack. 

10

Once the loaf is completely cooled, use a spoon to soften the buttercream style icing in the tub. Spoon roughly half the icing onto the top of the loaf cake and use a knife to spread the icing roughly over the cake. 

11

Grate the Dr. Oetker Extra Dark Chocolate onto a sheet of baking paper, then sprinkle it on top to decorate before slicing.
