Ingredients
Scale
- 2 medium-sized sweet potatoes
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 0.5 tsp nutmeg
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Peel and cube the sweet potatoes, then boil them in water until fork-tender (about 15-20 minutes).
- Drain and mash the boiled sweet potatoes until smooth. Allow them to cool while preparing other ingredients.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the unsalted butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in each egg one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next.
- In another bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Gradually blend this into the wet mixture.
- Gently fold in the cooled mashed sweet potatoes until evenly distributed in the batter.
- Pour the batter into a greased bundt or loaf pan. Bake for approximately 1 hour or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let it cool before serving.
