We raise and sell sweet potatoes on our farm in the lower part of Texas panhandle. Years ago, a customer shared his wife's sweet potato bread recipe with me. It's been a family favorite ever since. Ingredients:
3 cups sugar |
3 eggs, lightly beaten |
2 cups cold mashed sweet potatoes |
1 teaspoon vanilla extract |
3 cups king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
1 teaspoon baking powder |
1 teaspoon ground nutmeg |
1 teaspoon ground allspice |
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1/2 teaspoon baking soda |
1 cup chopped pecans, optional |
Directions:
1. In a bowl, combine sugar, eggs, sweet potatoes and vanilla; mix well. Combine flour, baking powder, nutmeg, allspice cinnamon, salt and baking soda; stir into potato mixture. Fold in nuts if desired. Pour into two greased 8-in. x 4-in. loaf pans. Bake at 350° for 1 hour or until bread tests done. Cool in pans 10 minutes before removing to a wire rack to cool completely. Yield: 2 loaves.
