Step-by-Step Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a 9-inch round cake pan by greasing it lightly.
- Peel and chop fresh sweet potatoes into chunks, then boil them for about 15-20 minutes until tender. Mash until smooth.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the smooth mashed sweet potatoes, almond butter, maple syrup, eggs, and vanilla extract. Blend until smooth.
- Stir in the grated ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and salt until evenly distributed.
- Gently sprinkle in the baking soda and fold it into the batter, avoiding overmixing.
- Pour the batter into the greased cake pan, smoothing the top evenly.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
- Cool the cake in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Slice the cake and serve plain or with whipped cream or a dusting of powdered sugar.

Notes
Avoid overmixing for a light texture, and allow the cake to cool completely before slicing. Consider letting the cake rest overnight for enhanced flavor.
