Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Wrap sweet potato in aluminum foil.

  2. Bake sweet potato in the preheated oven until easily pierced with a fork, about 1 hour. Set aside to cool.

  3. Whisk white sugar and canola oil together in a bowl. Add eggs, mix well. Sift flour, cinnamon, and nutmeg into sugar mixture. Slowly whisk water into flour-sugar mixture until incorporated.

  4. Peel sweet potato, mash into the batter. Fold in 1/2 cup chopped pecans.

  5. Reduce oven temperature to 320 degrees F (160 degrees C). Spray a 9x5-inch loaf pan with cooking spray.

  6. Pour batter into the prepared loaf pan.

  7. Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted in the center of the bread comes out clean, about 1 hour.

  8. Heat brown sugar and butter in a small saucepan over low heat until sugar is dissolved, about 5 minutes. Add 1/2 cup chopped pecans and stir to combine. Remove from heat. Pour glaze over bread.

Recipe Yield

1 5x9-inch loaf

Recipe Note
