Sweet Potato Bread
Ingredients
For the Loaf:
2 large eggs
1 cup granulated sugar
2 tablespoons sour cream
1 cup sweet potato mashed
1 tablespoon pumpkin pie spice
¼ teaspoon salt
½ cup vegetable oil
1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 cup pecans chopped
½ cup golden raisins
For the Glaze:
½ cup powdered sugar
5-6 teaspoons milk
¼ cup pecans chopped
Directions
Preheat the oven to 350º Fahrenheit. Spray a 9×5 bread pan with cooking spray, line it with parchment paper, and spray the paper again.
Whisk the eggs, granulated sugar, and sour cream in a large mixing bowl until well combined. Add mashed sweet potato, pumpkin pie spice, salt, and vegetable oil, and continue to whisk.
Fold the flour and baking powder into the batter, and add the raisins and one cup of pecans. Pour the batter into the prepared pan.
Bake for 60-70 minutes or until an inserted toothpick comes out clean. The loaf will be toasty brown and slightly crispy around the outside.
Cool in the pan for at least 30 minutes before placing on a cooling rack to cool completely to room temperature.
Whisk the icing sugar with 4-5 teaspoons of milk in a small mixing bowl. The glaze should be thicker.
Drizzle the glaze over the top of the loaf and allow it to drip down the sides. Sprinkle the top with the remaining pecans.
