Ingredients
2 cups roasted sweet potato puree
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
2 large eggs
1 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp ground ginger
1/4 tsp ground cloves
1 cup powdered sugar (for glaze)
2 tbsp fresh orange juice (for glaze)
1 tsp freshly grated ginger (for glaze)
1 tsp orange zest (for glaze)
Instructions
Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×5 inch loaf pan thoroughly.
Step 2: In a large bowl, whisk together the roasted sweet potato puree, melted butter, eggs, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until smooth.
Step 3: Sift the flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, ground ginger, and cloves into a separate bowl.
Step 4: Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet sweet potato mixture until no streaks of flour remain, being careful not to overmix to maintain the dense sweet potato loaf with orange ginger glaze texture.
Step 5: Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
Step 6: Bake for 55-65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Step 7: While the loaf cools, whisk the powdered sugar, orange juice, grated ginger, and orange zest together to create the glaze.
Step 8: Drizzle the glaze over the loaf while it is still slightly warm and allow it to set before slicing.
Notes
Always use fresh roasted potatoes for the best density and flavor.
