Equipment

2 Ramekins 6-ounce capacity
1 Mixing Bowl Medium size
1 Whisk

Ingredients

Sweet Potato Mixture

0.5 cup cooked sweet potato, mashed

Chocolate Batter

2 ounce dark chocolate 70% cacao or higher, melted
2 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted
1 large egg
2 tablespoon coconut sugar
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
0.25 teaspoon vanilla extract
0.0625 teaspoon sea salt Pinch

Instructions

Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Grease and lightly flour two 6-ounce ramekins.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the mashed sweet potato with the melted dark chocolate and melted butter. Whisk until smooth.
Add the egg, coconut sugar, flour, vanilla extract, and sea salt to the bowl. Whisk until just combined. Do not overmix.
Pour the batter evenly into the prepared ramekins.
Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are set but the center is still soft. Baking time may vary depending on your oven.
Let the cakes cool in the ramekins for a few minutes before carefully inverting them onto plates.
Serve immediately while the center is still molten. Optionally, dust with cocoa powder or top with fresh berries.

Notes

For a richer flavor, use a higher percentage of cacao in the dark chocolate.
