Best Spiced Sweet Potato Cake

Cake:
Zest from 1/2 an orange
1 sweet potato, peeled and diced
1 cup sugar substitute, or to taste
3/4 cup applesauce
3 egg whites
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda

Cake: Preheat oven to 350° F. Lightly coat a 9-inch round cake pan with vegetable cooking spray. Grind the zest and sweet potato in a food processor. Scrape down the bowl. Add sugar substitute, applesauce, egg whites, vanilla, ground cinnamon, and salt. Pulse until the mixture is blended. Add flour, baking powder, and baking soda. Pulse just to incorporate. Pour into the prepared pan. Bake 40 to 45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean. Cool 10 minutes on a rack and dust with confectioner's sugar.
