Follow The Directions

01

Step

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a 9-inch square baking pan. (5 minutes)

02

Step

In a medium bowl, whisk together the white wheat flour, baking soda, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, and salt. (3 minutes)

03

Step

In a separate large bowl, cream together 1/2 cup brown sugar, honey, and 1/4 cup softened butter using an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg until well combined. (5 minutes)

04

Step

Add the mashed sweet potatoes and vanilla extract to the butter mixture and beat until smooth. (2 minutes)

05

Step

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix. (5 minutes)

06

Step

Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread evenly. (2 minutes)

07

Step

In a small bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, 1/3 cup brown sugar, rolled oats, 1/4 cup softened butter, and 1 teaspoon cinnamon. Use your fingers or a pastry blender to cut the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. (7 minutes)

08

Step

Sprinkle the oat streusel topping evenly over the batter. (2 minutes)

09

Step

Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. (35 minutes)

10

Step

Let the cake cool in the pan for at least 15 minutes before cutting and serving. (15 minutes)

For a richer flavor, try using browned butter in the streusel topping.
A dollop of whipped cream or a drizzle of maple syrup makes a delicious accompaniment.
Store leftover cake in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
