Potato Pudding Treat (Print Version)
# Ingredients:
01 -
1/2 cup milk
02 -
1 teaspoon baking powder
03 -
1 cup all-purpose flour
04 -
1/2 teaspoon salt
05 -
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
06 -
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
07 -
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
08 -
4 large eggs
09 -
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
10 -
1 cup granulated sugar
11 -
2 cups mashed sweet potatoes
# Instructions:
01 -
Set your oven to 400°F and let the sweet potatoes roast for 45-60 minutes, making sure they're soft all the way through. Once cooled, remove the skins and mash until smooth.
02 -
Turn the oven to 350°F. Coat a 9x5-inch loaf pan with butter and a light dusting of flour.
03 -
Using a stand mixer, beat together the butter and sugar for a few minutes until it turns soft and light-colored.
04 -
Crack in one egg at a time and mix each one in well before adding the next.
05 -
Stir in the mashed sweet potatoes along with the vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. The batter should have a vibrant orange color when done.
06 -
Whisk the flour with baking powder in a fresh bowl until they're nicely blended.
07 -
Add the dry mix into the sweet potato batter in three rounds, alternating with milk in two rounds. Start and finish with the flour mix.
08 -
Spoon the batter evenly into your greased loaf pan and smooth out the surface.
09 -
Pop the pan into the oven and bake for 55-65 minutes, checking with a toothpick—it should come out with just a bit of moist crumbs.
10 -
Let the loaf sit in the pan for 15 minutes before moving it to a wire rack to cool fully. It's best to leave it untouched for about 4 hours before digging in.
