Mini Purple Sweet Potato Chiffon

Since that day when I make the AKK, I still have balance of Purple Sweet Potatoes sitting in the fridge. Purple Sweet Potatoes Chiffon has always been in my "wanted to bake list" and now is the opportuntity to do it. 

I am very happy with this bake which turns out soft and fluffy and super love the colour too. Overall I like the subtle sweetness and the contrast of the cubes of the cakes. The taste, texture and colour is just so adorable. This recipe is a keeper for sure.

The original recipe yields a 17cm chiffon cake tin but I have double the recipes as I wanted to clear all the leftover sweet potatoes and have make 8 mini size chiffon instead.
