-
Preheat oven to 350° F and grease an 8" cake pan
-
Whisk together almonds, oat flour, cinnamon, baking powder in a small bowl
-
In a separate bowl beat the oil, maple syrup, applesauce, and eggs together until well combined, should take 3-4 minutes.
-
Pour the dry ingredients into the wet and fold until combined.
-
In your greased pan, pour about a third of the batter, then spread half of the sweet potatoes evenly in the pan. Cover the layer with batter being sure to reserve the last third for the top.
-
Place the rest of the sweet potatoes on the second layer of batter before pouring all the remaining batter evenly spread on top. You may need to use a wooden spoon to move around the batter, don't worry if it doesn't seem like enough.
-
Place in the oven and cook for 45 minutes (knife should come out clean from the center)
-
Remove from oven when ready and let cool in the pan for about 5 minutes.
-
Flip over on a cooling rack (you may need to gently use a knife to separate the cake from the sides)
-
Top with slivered almonds, slice and enjoy!
