Cook about 1/3 pkt frozen sweet potato in boiling water till tender, about 6 minutes.

Heat the oven to 180C (160C fan) 350F, Gas 4.

Oil your baking tin.

Melt the chocolate in a bowl over hot water then leave to cool a little.

Beat the oil, sugar, sweet potato, vanilla and eggs together in a large bowl.

Weigh out the flour and baking powder.

Beat a little of the oil mix into the melted chocolate then mix the chocolate into the oil mix along with the flour.
