I am normally not one for ‘skinny’ desserts. If I want brownies or chocolate cake, then I am going to eat brownies or chocolate cake. Not smashed black bean brownies (anyone tried those?) or that chickpea healthy cookie dough I’ve seen floating around Pinterest lately.
No mixer needed! Combine the ingredients for the cake in a bowl and pour into your baking dish. You’ll end up with a puffy and thick chocolate cake. Let that cool completely and then frost and of course, add some sprinkles or other toppings.
THIS healthy chocolate cake is delicious too. I’m not going to say it tastes exactly the same as the 6-ingredient gooey Swedish chocolate cake, because that wouldn’t be true.
Even the sweet potato part is easy. I just cook a medium sweet potato in the microwave until soft, then I split open the skin and scoop out the flesh. It mashes really easily with a fork, or if you’d prefer to get it completely smooth you could pulse it for a few seconds in your food processor.
This healthy chocolate cake reminds me of a retro Sara Lee chocolate gateau (remember those?). The thick chocolate mousse ganache tastes very similar to the Sara Lee version, but of course it’s much healthier.
