Steps

1
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly spray a 9 inch cake pan with oil, using as little as possible. You can also cut a circle of parchment paper to fit the bottom of the pan. This will make it easier to pop the cake out when it's done.
2
Add all dry ingredients, including chocolate chips, in a large bowl and stir to combine.
3
In a blender, add the cooked and cooled sweet potato, almond milk, apple cider vinegar and pure vanilla extract. Blend until very smooth.
4
Add the blended mixture to the dry ingredients, and also dump in the non-dairy yogurt. Stir with a wooden spoon until just combined, being careful not to over mix.
5
Add the cake batter to the pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
6
Bake for 25-30 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean.
7
Let cool completely before frosting (recipe below.)
