Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups (355 ml) white sugar
- 1/2 cup (120 ml) vegetable oil
- 2 large eggs
- 1 3/4 cups (210 g) sifted all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon (5 ml) baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon (3 ml) ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon (3 ml) ground nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon (1 ml) salt
- 1/3 cup (80 ml) water
- 1 cup (240 g) cooked and mashed sweet potatoes
- 1/2 cup (60 g) chopped pecans
Instructions
- Start by gathering all necessary components. Begin by setting your oven to 350°F (175°C) and apply a layer of grease to a 9×5-inch baking pan.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the sugar and oil, and mix thoroughly. Introduce the eggs into this mixture, blending until everything is well incorporated.
- In another bowl, mix the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt together. Gradually integrate this dry mixture into the egg mixture, alternating with additions of water.
- Incorporate the mashed sweet potatoes and pecans into the batter, stirring until evenly distributed.
- Transfer the batter into the greased loaf pan.
- Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread emerges clean, which should take approximately one hour.
Notes
- Ensure sweet potatoes are thoroughly cooked and mashed for a smooth texture in the bread.
- Toast pecans before adding to the batter for a richer flavor.
- Sift flour before measuring for accurate amounts and a lighter bread texture.
