Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Wrap sweet potato in aluminum foil.

  2. Bake sweet potato in the preheated oven until easily pierced with a fork, about 1 hour. Set aside to cool.

  3. Whisk white sugar and canola oil together in a bowl. Add eggs, mix well. Sift flour, cinnamon, and nutmeg into sugar mixture. Slowly whisk water into flour-sugar mixture until incorporated.

  4. Peel sweet potato, mash into the batter. Fold in 1/2 cup chopped pecans.

  5. Reduce oven temperature to 320 degrees F (160 degrees C). Spray a 9x5-inch loaf pan with cooking spray.

  6. Pour batter into the prepared loaf pan.

  7. Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted in the center of the bread comes out clean, about 1 hour.

  8. Heat brown sugar and butter in a small saucepan over low heat until sugar is dissolved, about 5 minutes. Add 1/2 cup chopped pecans and stir to combine. Remove from heat. Pour glaze over bread.

Recipe Note

One of my favorite recipes made by my grandmother and handed down to me. My Granny made this bread as a sweet treat, but it was great for breakfast.
