Sweet Potato Miso Sponge Cake

A very interesting recipe from '孟老师的100道小蛋糕'. When I saw this recipe, I can only think of Miso soup. This recipe used Miso in cake???

1. Preheat oven to 180C.
2. Lined base and side of an 8inches square tin with greaseproof paper and set aside.

7. Pour some batter into the mashed sweet potato and mix well.
8. Pour the sweet potato batter back into the batter and mix well. (Do not over fold.)
