Instructions

  1. To get started, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease an 8×8 baking dish.
  2. In a large mixing bowl (or your stand mixer), beat together your brown sugar, honey, and softened butter until nice and creamy. Then, beat in the egg.
    ½ cup light brown sugar,¼ cup honey,¼ cup butter,1 large egg
  3. Add in the mashed sweet potato and vanilla extract and beat again, stopping to scrape down the mixing bowl as necessary.
    1 cup mashed sweet potatoes,½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  4. Next, beat in the baking soda, cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, and salt until all of the ingredients are well incorporated.
    2 teaspoon baking soda,1 teaspoon ground cinnamon,1 teaspoon ground cloves,½ teaspoon salt,½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
  5. In small increments, slowly stir in the flour until just combined. You don’t want to over-mix the batter. Then pour the batter into your prepared baking dish and smooth it out with a silicone spatula.
    2 cups all-purpose flour
  6. In a mixing bowl, mix together your flour, brown sugar, oats, and cinnamon until evenly distributed. Add in the butter and mix well.
    ⅓ cup all-purpose flour,⅓ cup light brown sugar,⅓ cup old-fashioned rolled oats,¼ cup butter,1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  7. Sprinkle the oat topping mixture over the cake batter.
  8. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
  9. Allow the cake to cool in the pan before serving.
