Sharing - Part 1

I am wondering if anybody has ever faced the same problem before.

If you refer to Pic 1 & Pic 2, you will see clearly that the extra ingredients like potatoes, raisin or chocolate chips actually sunk to the lower parts of the sponge cakes. I have tried all kinds of methods hoping to keep them spread evenly  around the sponge cake and yet I failed again and again. Everytime the results is the same. Since it doesn't effect the taste of the sponge cake, I really don't bother about solving the problem anymore.

Few days ago, I was so excited to see the inside of the sponge (Pic 3) when I sliced it. The mashed potatoes are so nicely spread around the cake and they don't sink to the bottom like always. I had to 'rewind' back from preparing the batter to putting it to bake. Then I realised that I had actually change one very important step.

In the Purple Sweet Potatoes Sponge Cake recipe,  we have to fold in 50ml of melted butter lastly after adding in all the other ingredients but this time, I had actually added in the the purple sweet potatoes only after the melted butter.

Hope to share this with everybody.
