I enjoy making this bread because it lets me use sweet potatoes in something besides pie. I found the recipe in an old Southern cookbook, but changed a few things. The orange juice in the glaze adds a nice citrus flavor to the loves. Ann Jovanovic Chicago, Illinois Ingredients:
3-1/2 cups king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
2 teaspoons baking soda |
1 teaspoon baking powder |
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon |
1 teaspoon ground nutmeg |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1/2 teaspoon ground cloves |
2 cups mashed sweet potatoes |
3 eggs |
1 cup canola oil |
3 cups sugar |
1 cup chopped walnuts |
1 cup raisins |
glaze: |
1-1/2 cups confectioners' sugar |
1 teaspoon grated orange peel |
4 to 5 teaspoons orange juice |
1/3 cup chopped walnuts |
Directions:
