Southern Sweet Potato Bread with Pecans Recipe

2 teaspoons baking powder

1/4 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon ground nutmeg

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1 cup white sugar

2 eggs, beaten

1/2 cup vegetable oil

2 tablespoons milk

1 cup cooked and mashed sweet potatoes

1 cup chopped pecans

1/2 cup golden raisins

DIRECTIONS

1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees F ( 165 degrees C ). Grease an 8×4 inch loaf pan.

2. In a medium bowl, stir together the flour, baking powder, salt, nutmeg cinnamon, and sugar. Add the eggs, oil, and milk; mix until well blended. Finally, stir in the mashed sweet potatoes, pecans, and golden raisins. Pour the batter into the prepared pan.

3. Bake for 70 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Allow bread to cool in the pan at least 15 minutes before removing. For best flavor, store overnight before serving.
