How to choose fresh and delicious sweet potatoes
- It is advisable to buy sweet potatoes that are intact on the outside, not cracked or chipped. When you hold the sweet potato, it should feel heavy, firm, and not bruised.
- Be careful when you see sweet potatoes with black spots or blemishes, as this indicates that the sweet potato is spoiled.
- Choose sweet potatoes that are round or elongated, without any waist or indentations, and when lightly squeezed, they should not be too hard, as these types often have less fiber, more starch, and taste very sweet.
- Avoid selecting very small, long, or waisted sweet potatoes, as they tend to have more fiber and are not tasty.

How to make Baked Sweet Potato Cake
-
Prepare sweet potatoes and mix the dough
Wash the sweet potatoes under clean water to remove dirt. If the sweet potatoes are muddy, use a scrub pad or brush to scrub the potatoes for about 1-2 minutes, then put them in a pot with 300ml of water, turn on high heat, and cover to boil the potatoes.
When the water boils, reduce the heat and continue cooking for about 20 minutes. To check if the potatoes are done, use chopsticks to pierce through; if it goes in easily, the potatoes are cooked.
If the potatoes are done, turn off the heat and transfer them to a plate, let them cool for about 15 minutes, then peel the skin off. After that, use a fork to mash the potatoes until smooth.
In a bowl, combine the mashed sweet potatoes with 1 egg, 40g unsalted butter, 3 tablespoons of sugar, 2 tablespoons of condensed milk, 300g of all-purpose flour, 3g of baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 150ml of unsweetened milk.
Mix well until the mixture is smooth and homogenous, cover it with plastic wrap, and let the dough rest for 40 minutes.

Divide the dough and shape it
After 40 minutes of dough fermentation, take the dough out to roll it to remove air bubbles and divide it into several equal parts (each part is about 20g). Then continue to let the divided dough rise a second time for about 20 minutes.
After the second rise, take the divided dough and roll it into round balls, then use a rolling pin to flatten them into round shapes and sprinkle black sesame on top of the cakes, continuing until all the dough is used up.

Bake sweet potato cakes in the oven

After the cakes are cooked, leave them in the oven for another 5 minutes to cool slightly, then take them out to enjoy.

Prepare the ingredients
Peel the sweet potatoes you bought, wash them clean, then cut them into long slices, and then cut them into small square pieces. Note that you should cut them small so that they will cook more easily when roasted.
After cutting, wash them again with water once more, then drain.
To choose delicious sweet potatoes, you can refer to the following suggestions:- Choose sweet potatoes with smooth skin and no damage. Avoid selecting those with bruises, cracks, or signs of disease.
- Check the skin of the potatoes. The skin should have a uniform color with no black spots, gray patches, or mold.
- Assess the weight of the potatoes. Good sweet potatoes are usually heavier than those that are not good.
- Check the internal structure of the potatoes. Good sweet potatoes have a soft and smooth texture, not fibrous, and the flesh should be translucent.
- Choose sweet potatoes that have a uniform and beautiful shape. Avoid selecting those that have unattractive or deformed shapes.

Mix the batter
Add the cut sweet potatoes into a bowl, then add 3 eggs and 250g of cornstarch, and mix well so that the batter does not clump, then let the batter rest for 10 minutes.
