Sweet Potato Pudding Cake

Ingredients

Cake

• 1 cup raisins

• 2 tablespoons dark or light rum
• 1 cup 1 cup whole-wheat pastry flour (see Note)
• 1/2 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 pound sweet potato (about 1 large), cooked (see Tip) and peeled
• 3 large eggs
• 1 14-ounce can “lite” coconut milk
• 1 cup packed light brown sugar
• 2 tablespoons butter, melted

Topping

• 1/2 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
• 2 tablespoons packed brown sugar
• 1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Preparation

1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Coat a 9-inch springform pan with cooking spray.
2. To prepare cake: Toss raisins and rum in a small bowl and let stand. Whisk flour, nutmeg and salt in another bowl.
3. Mash sweet potato in a large bowl (you should have about 1 3/4 cups). Add eggs; beat with an electric mixer on medium speed until combined. Add coconut milk, 1 cup brown sugar and butter; beat until combined. Stir in the dry ingredients until evenly moistened. Stir in the raisins and any remaining rum. Spread the batter in the prepared pan.
4. To prepare topping: Combine coconut, 2 tablespoons brown sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl. Sprinkle on top of the cake.
5. Bake the cake until a knife inserted into the center comes out clean, 1 to 1 1/4 hours. Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Run a knife around the edge of the pan and gently remove the side ring. Let cool at room temperature for 1 hour, then refrigerate until cold, about 3 hours.

Tips & Notes

• Make Ahead Tip: Cover and refrigerate for up to 2 days. | Equipment: 9-inch springform pan

• Ingredient note: Whole-wheat pastry flour, lower in protein than regular whole-wheat flour, has less gluten-forming potential, making it a better choice for tender baked goods. You can find it in the natural-foods section of large supermarkets and natural-foods stores. Store in the freezer.
• Tip: To cook whole sweet potatoes, pierce the skin in several places with a fork. Bake on a baking sheet at 400°F for 45 minutes to 1 hour or microwave on High for 12 to 15 minutes.
