Name: Raisin Sweet Potato Bread
Prep time: 10 min
Cook time: 55 min
Total time: 1 h 5 min
Yield: 2 loaves (16 slices each).
Ingredients: 2 cups self-rising flour; 2 cups sugar; 3 teaspoons ground cinnamon; 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg; 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves; 1-1/2 cups mashed cooked sweet potatoes; 1 cup canola oil; 3 large eggs; 3 teaspoons vanilla extract; 3/4 cup raisins

This is a tasty bread with a moist center and crunchy crust. My mother asked me to make it for her 90th birthday party. Everyone who sampled it asked for the recipe.

Ingredients

2 cups self-rising flour
2 cups sugar
3 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1-1/2 cups mashed cooked sweet potatoes
1 cup canola oil
3 large eggs
3 teaspoons vanilla extract
3/4 cup raisins

Directions

In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg and cloves. In another large bowl, combine the sweet potatoes, oil, eggs and vanilla; stir into the dry ingredients just until moistened. Fold in raisins.
Transfer to two greased 8x4-in. loaf pans. Bake at 350° for 55-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes before removing from pans to wire racks.

Editor's Note

As a substitute for each cup of self-rising flour, place 1-1/2 teaspoons baking powder and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a measuring cup. Add all-purpose flour to measure 1 cup.

this was perfect after Thanksgiving, when I had just enough left over sweet potatos so make the recipe- Using self rising flour made it easy. It was very moist and mildly flavored. I had jumbo raisens on hand. I think I may flour the pans next time.
