Golden Sweet Potato Cake Bars

Golden sweet potato cake bars made into strips are very convenient to carry and eat. Paired with the crispy biscuit base at the bottom, they are even more delicious. Everyone can give it a try (this recipe is translated from the Japanese cookpad website). We regularly have free live video courses. The schedule will be announced on Weibo. You can follow my same-name Weibo: Emily's Baking Life.
