Tips & Tricks

  1. Ensure the yams are fully cooked and mashed smoothly for a better texture.

  2. Use a toothpick to check if the cake is done; it should come out clean.

  3. Adjust the sweetness by adding more or less monk fruit sweetener based on your preference.

  4. For a richer flavor, you can use full-fat milk instead of fat-free milk.

FAQS

  1. Can I substitute oat flour with another type of flour?

    Yes, you can use almond flour or whole wheat flour, but the texture may vary slightly.

  2. Can I use a regular oven instead of an air fryer?

    Yes, bake the cake at 325°F for about 15-20 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.

  3. Can I replace egg whites with a vegan alternative?

    Yes, you can use aquafaba or a flaxseed egg as a substitute for egg whites.

  4. What can I use instead of PB Fit for the filling?

    You can use regular peanut butter or almond butter for a similar flavor.

  5. How do I store leftovers?

    Store the cake in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat in the air fryer or microwave before serving.
