Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 12 servings

  • 1 cup chopped sweet potato

  • 1 ½ cups white sugar

  • ½ cup vegetable oil

  • 1 over-ripe banana

  • 1 ¾ cups sifted all-purpose flour

  • 1 teaspoon baking soda

  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon

  • ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg

  • ¼ teaspoon salt

  • teaspoon baking powder

  • cup water

  • ½ cup chopped pecans

Directions

  1. Bring water to a boil in a large pot. Add sweet potatoes and cook until tender, 20 to 30 minutes; drain. Place sweet potatoes in a bowl and mash with a potato masher until smooth.

  2. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan.

  3. Stir sugar and oil together in a bowl until well mixed; beat in banana. Combine flour, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, and baking powder in a separate bowl. Alternate stirring the flour mixture and 1/3 cup water into the sugar mixture until combined. Mix in sweet potatoes and pecans; stir until batter is smooth. Pour batter into the prepared loaf pan.

  4. Bake in the preheated oven until top is golden brown, about 1 hour.

The 9x5-inch loaf pan can be substituted with 2 small loaf pans.
