Method

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line a 9-inch round pan or loaf pan with parchment paper.
  2. Place your cut sweet potatoes in the bowl of a food processor and process until finely grated. In a small bowl, toss raisins in 2 teaspoons flour from the ½ cup. Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, combine grated sweet potatoes, light brown sugar, all-purpose flour, vanilla extract, allspice, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and salt. Stir in 1½ cups of coconut milk until a batter forms. Fold in the raisins that were tossed in the flour.
  4. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top. Bake uncovered for 1 hour 30 minutes, until mostly set but still slightly soft in the center

Cooking notes

Baked goods are unforgiving with rounding — use weights rather than volumes whenever possible, and verify pan capacity if you scale up or down significantly.

For volume-to-weight conversions of any ingredient — flour, sugar, butter, salts — use the ingredient converter. To translate the recipe's oven temperature between °C, °F and gas mark, see the temperature converter.

When you scale this recipe up or down, remember that cooking time does not scale linearly. A doubled cake takes longer, but not twice as long; a doubled soup takes roughly twice as long. The cooking-time guide gives sensible starting estimates by dish geometry.
