Does this Sweet Potato bread freeze well?
This southern treat freezes extremely well so you can enjoy for a long time to come. And if you like carrot cake and pumpkin this bread is right for you with its moist cake like texture.
Ingredients for Sweet Potato Bread are:
- Krusteaz Cinnamon Swirl Crumb Cake Mix
- Can sweet potatoes
- Large Egg
- Water
- Nutmeg
- Crushed Pecans
How to Make Sweet Potato Bread with Cinnamon Swirl
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Prepare a 9” loaf pan by lining with parchment paper and then spraying the paper with a non-stick baking spray. The parchment will make it so the crumb topping doesn’t fall off during removal.
In a large bowl, mash up the yams (sweet potatoes) with a fork until most of the lumps are removed.
Add in the egg, water, and mix until well combined.
Using a spatula, or hand mixer on low speed, mix in the cake mix until all of the dry crumbs are blended in. Set aside.
In a small bowl, pour the brown sugar packet that was inside the cake mix box and mix together with the nutmeg. Set aside.
Pour half of the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading the batter to the edges.
Sprinkle half of the brown sugar mixture over the top.
Spoon globs (that’s a technical cooking term hehe) of the remaining batter all over the top
Use a knife to help spread the batter to the edges.
Sprinkle the remaining brown sugar mixture and crushed pecans all over the top.
Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick is inserted and comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes in the pan and then move to a cooling rack using the parchment paper liner.
