Quick Notes:
I make my own yam puree for this cake! Simply peel, cube, and steam about half a yam for 10 or so minutes (until its tender) and blend it smooth with about 1/4 cup water (or as much as is needed to get it to blend smoothly).
The bake time listed below is only for using a 8 inch by 6.5 inch glass baking dish. If you're using a significantly different sized dish, adjust the bake time accordingly. The larger glass dish you use, the less bake time you'll need. For example, for a 9 inch by 11 inch glass dish, try 40-45 minutes and see if a toothpick comes out dry. Keep it in there until it does.
This recipe calls for almond flour. Below is the texture you want yours to look like, its a pretty standard grind. A finer or courser grind will work, but this is the ideal:
