I think Ive tried some of the best fall breads and cakes around. This was a new for me and had hit the favorite factor. This bread has the yumminess of sweet potatoes, warmth of cinnamon and nutmeg and crunch from pecans. My kitchen smells like a warm blanket and cup of chia in front of a roaring fireplace. Sure to please.
Dont let the sugar scare you- they are large loaves. I have not tried subs on this yet.
I like to make large loaves and freeze one for later. Wrap well in plastic wrap and then foil. Label and date.
Recipe
Three med large roasted soft sweet potatoes
2/3 cup canola oil
2/3 cup milk
4 eggs
2 cup sugar
3 1/2 cups flour
1/2 tsp baking soda
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
2 tsp cinnamon
1/2tsp nut meg
1 cup chopped pecans or walnuts
Two large loaf pans oiled and floured
I preroasted potatoes night before with another recipe I had. Im sure canned would work as well but the fresh is best.
Peal skin off potatoes and low mix in mixer to make smooth. Add egg and sugar and whip med speed. Add oil. Mix on med to fully smooth and fluff.
Separate bowl incorporate all dry ingredients. Slowly spool into mixer. Beat until Batter is smooth and creamy thick.
I was raised on a large farm in a small community of Long Shop, Virginia. Just a stones throw from Blacksburg, Va and a short drive to the WV boarder. I grew up appreciating Appalachia cooking with low budgets and home grown veggies. What honestly tastes better than a warm tomato out of the garden sliced fat with salt and pepper? Maybe a bowl of good brown pinto beans and cornbread. Or even better grilled trout fresh caught from the creek!
My childhood was a dream... and what has made my passion for food- sharing good meals with good friends and loved ones.
My food always has a story and always in sizes to share.
I now have begun a new adventure with my love Jason, and we created the Bellman and Concierge LLC and reopened the beautiful Oaks Victorian Inn. A childhood home I knew well growing up and now saving for many to enjoy as a Boutique Bed and Breakfast. Cooking for guests and sharing traditions. Come visit us at
