Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350*F. Line an 8 inch square pan with enough foil to overlap the sides of the pan. Grease lightly and set aside.

Heat the margarine and chocolate morsels in a saucepan over medium heat until melted; remove from heat. Add sugar and beat until smooth. Stir in eggs, instant coffee and vanilla. Add the flour, sweet potatoe, cocoa powder, baking powder and salt; stir just until combined. Stir in the walnuts. (if using).

Spread the batter evenly into the pan. Bake for 25 minutes or until a toothpick comes out with only a few moist crumbs. Transfer to a cooling rack; let cool completely before slicing.
