Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups grated sweet potatoes
- 2 cups coconut milk
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup cornmeal
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 0.5 teaspoon ground allspice
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup raisins
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch baking dish or cake pan.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the grated sweet potatoes, coconut milk, and brown sugar. Mix well until fully incorporated.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cornmeal, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, ground allspice, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the sweet potato mixture, stirring continuously to avoid lumps.
Stir in the vanilla extract, raisins, and melted butter. Mix until everything is well combined and the batter is smooth.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 75-90 minutes, or until a skewer inserted in the middle comes out clean and the top is golden brown.
Once baked, remove from the oven and let the pudding cool for at least 20 minutes before slicing and serving.
Serve warm or at room temperature as a dessert or snack. Enjoy the tropical flavors of this traditional Jamaican treat!
