black box

🙂Black Box


The three ingredients we had to use were almonds, coffee, sweet potato. It was hard to find something to make with a sweet potato in it that actually looked appetising. Finally I found a cake recipe. I was so glad that the icing on top was one that I always make at home too, so that didn't take up too much time. I added the coffee and ground almonds into the batter and sprinkled some almonds on top of the icing. decorated the plate with the some whole almonds and my cake was ready to presented.

First Black Box!


            Almonds, coffee and sweet potatoes, these were our ingredients for our first black box challenge. I had never tasted sweet potatoes before, so I went with a brownie. I mixed the sweet potato in with the batter and added almonds and just a bit of coffee. For the glaze I mainly used coffee, milk and chocolate chips. The glaze ended up being a bit runny, but after a few minutes in the fridge it was set.
Since I had time left I decided to do a sweet potato latte to go along with the brownie. Everything was good until I added the sweet potato, it was very bad. I redid the recipe, this time with out the sweet potato and added some cream.
If I were to do this recipe again I would add a bit more sugar into the brownie batter, add more chocolate chips to the glaze to make it thicker, and last of all I would bake it in a smaller pan for a thicker brownie.
All things considered I enjoyed the dessert, though it wasn’t the best brownie ever it was still a fun challenge.
