Flourless Chocolate Shakeology Cake


First disclaimer.  I am not a cook.  I like to take recipes and find ways to make them healthier.  Oh, and another disclaimer, I am not a photographer.  This cake looks much nicer than my photo depicts.  I had asked my challenge team for some suggestions re: what they were going to cook their honey on Valentine's Day.  I wanted to offer this up to the team as an option that should fit into their healthy lifestyle.  

Ingredients
½ cup pureed sweet potato                
3 eggs, beaten
2 packets chocolate Shakeology
1 teaspoon vanilla
½ teaspoon cinnamon

Directions
Prepare Sweet Potatoes the same day or several days prior
Cook sweet potatoes in oven until soft
Puree entire potato in blender until smooth (this is why I love my Vitamix)
Portion into small containers and freeze unless you will be using to cook/eat same day
 Cooking time and prep time depends on size and number of sweet potatoes.  Use standard cooking instructions.

Cake Instructions
Pre-heat oven to 325 degrees F.  Grease an 8" round pan and dust with cocoa powder.
Beat the eggs in a bowl.  Add the vanilla and continue beating
Stir in 2 packets of chocolate Shakeology.  Mix well.
Add sweet potato puree and mix until all ingredients thoroughly moistened and no lumps.
Pour into prepared pan.
 Cook for 30 min, remove and cool for 10 minutes.
Remove from pan onto serving plate and let cool completely.
You can serve this warm or cold.  Top with fresh fruit.  You can also whip some cream and add a packet of Tropical Strawberry Shakeology and drizzle over the top for a creamy and fruity flavor.
