This cake is an ode to the changing of summer into autumn! I love the flavor and texture of sweet potato-in dessert however, I wanted to pair it with something fluffy and floral. This is why this cake blends the best of both worlds, incorporating purple sweet potato puree, and violet-infused sugar, with a fluffy coconut oil-based frosting.
Pretty in Pink Citrus Juice
Tis' the season of citrus! Goodbye winter cold and hello liquid power boost! Bitter grapefruit, sweet oranges, and spicy ginger are what make this vibrant winter juice a favorite of mine. Relax with a sip, a good book, and a warm blanket.
