What happens when dinner and dessert get together to have a baby? You get this Meatloaf Cake with Sweet Potato Icing Recipe! Pipe and spread a bit of sweet potato in-between all of the layers and then around the bottom of the base layer (this will help cover any remaining fat that might be there, I didn’t see any of ours, but could definitely see how it could happen). Pile a bunch of sweet potatoes on top, add the carrots and greens and then enjoyed! We had this right away while the meat layers and potatoes were still warm and it was awesome!

Ingredients

Optional

pea shoots
long pieces of carrot
2 tbsp. nutritional yeast

4 cups mashed sweet potatoes
2 eggs
pepper
salt
1/2 cup tart cherry concentrate
1 cup breadcrumbs as needed
1 large onion finely chopped
1 cup BBQ sauce
5 pounds ground beef

Method

01

Wearing the gloves, combine all of the beef, onions, BBQ sauce, seasonings and part of the breadcrumbs. Mix with your hands until you have an even consistency that looks to not be too wet or too dry. Add more breadcrumbs or bbq sauce as needed.
02

Try to evenly divide the mixture into four parts and then press into your pans, I happened to have 4 that were about the same size, if needed you can definitely just cook multiple batches.
03

This step is optional, but we find it adds nice flavor, use a fork or tenderizer to prick holes in the entire surface of each meatloaf, then cover in a little bit more BBQ sauce.
04

Cook at 350 degrees F for about 30 minutes or until your meat thermometer hits 165 degrees F. This time may vary depending on how your oven works and how many pans you put in at one time.
05

Allow the meatloaf to cool a bit before removing them from the pans. Try to drain off and remove as much excess fat as possible.
06

Add the mashed sweet potatoes to a piping bag or as I used, a gallon-sized zip bag, squeeze a dash of the mashed sweet potatoes into the center of your serving plate to help things stay in place and set the first layer on top.
07

Pipe and spread a bit of sweet potato in-between all of the layers and then around the bottom of the base layer (this will help cover any remaining fat that might be there, I didn’t see any on ours, but could definitely see how it could happen).
