- 230 g (2 cups) ground almonds
- 4 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 120 g (½ cup) cooked, mashed sweet potato

- Place the ground oats and almonds, baking powder and salt in a large bowl and whisk until well combined.
- Place the cooked sweet potato in a blender along with the coconut milk, almond milk, maple syrup and vanilla extract and blend until smooth.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and mix well until smooth; the batter should be very thick. Stir in the chocolate chips.
- Scrape the batter into the prepared tin and spread it level.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes until a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs but no wet batter.
- Leave the cake to cool in the tin. It must be completely cold before serving otherwise the texture will be too wet.
