Equipment You’ll Need:

Mixing bowls

Electric mixer or whisk

9×9-inch baking dish or small casserole dish

Spatula

Ingredients:

  • 2 cups mashed sweet potatoes (about 2-3 medium sweet potatoes, boiled or roasted until tender)
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup whole milk
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions:

  1.  Preheat oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease your baking dish.
  2.  Cream butter and sugar: In a large bowl, beat together the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  3.  Add eggs and vanilla: Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla.
  4.  Combine dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and salt.
  5.  Mix it all together: Stir the mashed sweet potatoes into the wet mixture. Gradually add the dry ingredients, alternating with milk, mixing until just combined.
  6.  Bake: Pour into prepared dish and spread evenly. Bake for 35-45 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean and the top is golden and slightly puffed.
  7.  Cool and serve: Let cool slightly before serving warm. It’s fantastic with whipped cream or a dusting of powdered sugar!

Extra Tips & Variations:

  • Add chopped pecans for a little crunch.
  • Swap half the milk for evaporated milk for a richer texture.
  • A drizzle of caramel sauce on top takes it over the top!
