Ingredients

• 1 cup brown sugar (packed)
• 1/2 cup vegetable oil
• 2 eggs
• 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tsp baking soda
• 1/4 tsp baking powder
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 3/4 tsp ground cinnamon
• 1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
• 1/4 tsp ground cloves
• 1/3 cup milk
• 1 cup cooked and mashed sweet potatoes (cooled)

Method

1. Heat the oven to 350°F and spray a 9x5-inch bread pan with pan spray for the sweet potato loaf.
2. If the sweet potatoes are not already cooked, boil peeled and chopped sweet potatoes in a medium pot of water for about 12 minutes, until fork tender, then drain the pieces and let them cool before mashing.
3. Combine the brown sugar and vegetable oil in a large bowl, add the eggs to the sugar mixture, and mix the wet base until just combined.
4. Whisk the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg and cloves in a medium bowl for the spiced dry mixture.
5. Add the dry ingredients to the sugar bowl in turns with the milk, beginning and ending with the flour mixture, so the sweet potato bread batter stays evenly mixed.
6. Stir the mashed sweet potatoes gently through the batter as the final addition to the loaf.
7. Scrape the batter into the prepared bread pan and bake the sweet potato bread for 50 to 60 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean from the centre of the loaf.
8. Cool the loaf completely in its pan before slicing the sweet potato bread.
