Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Sweet potatoes (boiled and mashed)
- 2.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.75 cups Granulated sugar
- 0.25 cups Brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 1 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoons Nutmeg
- 2 large Eggs
- 0.5 cups Milk
- 0.5 cups Vegetable oil
- 1 tablespoon Orange zest
- 0.5 cups Fresh orange juice
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan with butter or cooking spray and line the bottom with parchment paper for easy removal.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, ground cinnamon, and nutmeg until well combined.
In a separate medium mixing bowl, combine the mashed sweet potatoes, eggs, milk, vegetable oil, orange zest, and orange juice. Whisk until smooth and fully incorporated.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the bowl with the dry ingredients. Use a spatula or wooden spoon to gently fold the mixture together until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this could make the bread dense.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing out the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 55-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean.
Remove from the oven and let the bread cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes. Then, transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
Serve slices of Orange Potato Bread warm or at room temperature. Enjoy!
