Lets be honest… nothing beats a delicious slice of chocolate cake right?! It’s not always the healthiest of foods but there is a way to make a lower sugar version yourself at home that is also packed full of nutritious sweet potato! Let me show you how….
My kids are absolute cake-fiends. They love nothing more than a massive slice of chocolate cake but with the amount of sugar in shop-bought cakes, not to mention the artificial colors and flavorings, I often opt to make my own if I have time. This recipe is super easy. I am no star baker but even I can make this fool-proof cake perfect every time!
