Comprising of both purple and yellow sweet potato, the latter constitute the bulk of the cake, with an interior of sweet potato mousse and diced sweet potato cubes as well! 💜💛 Though I would have preferred a vice versa, as a fan of sweet potato in general and having a sweet tooth, I still pretty much enjoyed this cake! The dual spiral swirls of purple and yellow hues were thick and creamy, with a texture resembling that of a mashed potato while contributing to a pleasant tinge of natural sweetness. Apart from sweet potato mousse, the interior also comprises of a thin layer of soft, fluffy vanilla sponge and chunks of diced Japanese sweet potato stewed in syrup. Lying on a base of cookie (which was unfortunately not crisp that I had initially mistaken it for another layer of sponge), the sweet potato mousse bears a softer texture and lighter body as compared to the spiral swirls of cream on the exterior, with flavour that is also less intense and distinct. I almost thought it was just yet another typical cream mousse if not for the labeling! 😅 Having tried another similar version of cake at @parisbaguette_sg that comprises of dual purple and yellow sweet potato as well, I must admit I personally prefer the latter, with a more balanced proportion of purple:yellow and a bolder flavour that’s less sweet as well! .
