Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 can Sweet potatoes (15 oz. can, drained into a bowl)
- 1/4 cup Sweet potato juice (reserved from canned sweet potatoes)
- 2 Large eggs
- 1/3 cup Oil
- 1/3 cup Water
- 1 1/4 cup Granulated sugar
- 1.5 tsp Chai spice
- 1/4 tsp Baking powder
- 1 tsp Baking soda
- 1 3/4 cups All-purpose flour
Instructions
- Prepare sweet potato mixture: In a large mixing bowl, add the drained sweet potatoes and reserved sweet potato juice. Mash with a fork or potato masher until smooth and well combined.
- Add wet ingredients and sugar: To the mashed sweet potatoes, add eggs, oil, water, and granulated sugar. Mix until all ingredients are combined evenly.
- Combine dry ingredients: Add chai spice, baking powder, baking soda, and all-purpose flour to the wet mixture. Stir gently until just combined. Optionally, add a small amount of orange food coloring for a more vibrant color.
- Prepare loaf pan: Grease and flour a large 9x5 inch loaf pan, or alternatively, line it with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- Pour and spread batter: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread it evenly using a spatula.
- Bake: Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 60 to 70 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Cool and slice: Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool completely at room temperature. Once cooled, use a sharp knife to cut into slices and serve.
Notes
- Be careful not to overmix the batter to keep the bread light and tender.
- Using parchment paper can make removing the bread easier and helps prevent sticking.
- The chai spice blend adds a warm flavor; you can adjust the amount or substitute with cinnamon and nutmeg if preferred.
- Adding a small amount of orange food coloring is optional and only affects the bread’s appearance.
- Make sure the loaf is completely cooled before slicing to avoid crumbling.
