Ingredients

• 1 cup mashed roasted sweet potato (from about 1 medium sweet potato)
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 3/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1/4 cup packed light brown sugar
• 2 large eggs, room temperature

• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan and line with parchment paper.
2. In a large bowl, cream together butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
3. Beat in eggs one at a time, then stir in mashed sweet potato, milk, and vanilla until well combined.
4. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
5. Gradually add dry ingredients to wet mixture, stirring just until combined. Do not overmix.
6. Pour batter into prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.
7. Bake for 55-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
8. Let cool in pan for 10 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack to cool completely.

Tips

• For extra flavor, add 1/2 cup chopped pecans or walnuts to the batter.
• Store wrapped in plastic wrap at room temperature for up to 3 days, or freeze for up to 3 months.
• Roast sweet potato at 400°F (200°C) for 45-60 minutes until tender, then mash.
