Introduction
An easy and delicious sweet potato cake that can be made without an oven, using only a frying pan and pancake mix. The sweet potatoes at the bottom caramelize for a fragrant finish, while the cake batter becomes light and moist, and the sweet potatoes tender.
Step 1
Trim both ends of the sweet potato and cut into small, uneven chunks (rangiri).
Step 2
Fill a bowl with water, add the cut sweet potatoes, and soak for about 5 minutes to remove excess starch (aku).
Step 3
Drain the sweet potatoes well, cover loosely with plastic wrap, and microwave at 600W for 3 minutes.
Step 4
Place 15g of unsalted butter in a heatproof container and microwave at 600W for 30 seconds to melt.
Step 5
Crack the egg into a separate bowl and beat lightly, then add 2 tablespoons of sugar and whisk quickly until well combined.

Important Notes
🔥 When cooking in a frying pan, always use 'very low heat' to prevent burning and ensure the inside is fully cooked through.
💡 When arranging the sweet potatoes, place the purple skin side facing down to ensure an aesthetically pleasing presentation.
⚠️ After baking, let the cake rest for about 5 minutes to cool slightly before flipping, which prevents it from falling apart and makes it easier to remove.
