Healthy chocolate cake
We've given classic chocolate cake a healthy twist by using sweet potatoes, sticky dates and almond milk. Using dark chocolate and cacao powder gives it a wonderful richness

Ingredients
300g sweet potatoes
250g dates, (after stones removed)
75ml cold-pressed rapeseed oil
350ml almond milk
1½ tbsp cider vinegar
350g wholemeal self-raising flour
50g cacao powder
1 tsp bicarbonate of soda
1 tsp vanilla extract
150g dark chocolate, roughly chopped, plus 10g, grated
1 orange, zested, juiced to make 1 tbsp

How to make it:
STEP 1
Heat the oven to 190C/fan 170C/gas 5. Pierce the sweet potatoes in several places, then put on a small tray. Bake for 1 hour or until soft throughout, then remove from the oven and leave until cool enough to handle.
STEP 2
Put the dates in a medium bowl and cover with just-boiled water. Leave to soak for 30 minutes. Drain, reserving 2 tbsp of the soaking water, and put the dates and reserved water in a mini food processor. Blitz until smooth.
STEP 3
Oil the bases and sides of two 20cm loose-bottomed sandwich tins using ½ tsp of the oil, then line the bases with baking paper. Put the almond milk in a jug, add the vinegar and leave to sit. Sift the dry ingredients into a large bowl. Make a well in the centre and add the puréed dates, almond milk, oil and vanilla. Beat well until smooth. Divide the mixture between the prepared tins and bake for 25-30 minutes or until a skewer inserted into the middle of the cakes comes out cleanly. Leave to cool in the tins for 10 minutes, then turn out onto wire racks to cool completely.
STEP 4
Scrape the insides of the sweet potatoes into a medium pan. Add the chocolate and, on a low heat, continuously mix until the chocolate is melted and the mixture is mostly smooth. Transfer the mixture to a food processor while still warm, along with the orange zest and juice. Blitz for 2 minutes until completely smooth. If the mixture looks too thick, add 1-2 tbsp of just-boiled water and continue to beat until smooth. Leave to cool, then spread all over the cake. Decorate with the grated chocolate.

CHOCOLATE SWISS ROLL
INGREDIENTS
75g golden caster sugar, plus extra for scattering
200ml double cream
60g self-raising flour
3 tbsp cocoa powder
3 eggs
½ tsp vanilla extract
50g icing sugar, sifted, plus extra to serve
METHOD
1. Heat the oven to 220C/200C fan/gas 7. Line a 22 x 32cm swiss roll tin (if it’s 20 x 30cm that’s still fine) with baking parchment. Sift the flour and cocoa powder together into a bowl and set aside.
2. Crack the eggs into another bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer and tip in the sugar. Use an electric whisk or the whisk attachment to beat the eggs and sugar together for 5 mins until pale and very thick. Use a spoon or spatula to gently fold in the flour mixture until completely incorporated and everything’s the same colour with no streaks.
3. Gently scrape the mix into the tin and spread to the corners. Bake for 9-10 mins until puffed up and springy to touch. While the cake is baking, get another piece of parchment a little larger than the tin and scatter it with sugar. When the sponge is cooked, use oven gloves to carefully invert it onto the sugar-coated paper. Lift off the tin and peel away the top layer of parchment. Score a line 2cm from one of the shorter edges, then use the parchment to roll the sponge into a spiral with the parchment running through it. Leave the rolled sponge to cool completely.
4. While the cake is cooling, make the filling by whisking all the ingredients together until the cream stiffens. Unroll the sponge and spread over the filling, leaving the scored edge clear. Starting from the scored edge, use the parchment to roll the sponge up around the filling. Lift onto a board or serving platter and dust with icing sugar. Can be served straight away or chilled for up to 24 hrs. Serve in slices.
