A soft, slightly sweet, and moist cornbread cake made with gluten-free flour, sweet potatoes, and honey. Perfect as a side to a savory dish or a slightly sweet finish to the end of a meal.

Blend together dry ingredients (gluten-free flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon)
Add in wet ingredients starting with sweet potato. Mix applesauce, melted plant-based butter, and honey. Lastly, add the dairy-free milk
Pour mixture into greased 9-inch cake pan.
Bake on 375° for about 40 - 45 minutes. Insert a toothpick into the middle of the cake to check for doneness.
