Great for holiday baking – I’ve found you can use pumpkin or sweet potato (or butternut squash too) interchangeably in just about any baking recipe that calls for one of them.
Ingredients
- 3 cups sugar
- 1 cup salad oil
- 4 beaten eggs
- 1 one pound can of sweet potatoes, liquid drained, or pumpkin
- 3 1/2 cup flour

- 2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp ground clove
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1 tsp nutmeg
- 1/4 tsp allspice (optional)
- 2/3 cup water
- 1 cup nuts (optional)
- 1 cup raisins (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Cream together the sugar, salad oil, eggs and sweet potatoes or pumpkin.
Step 2
Sift together the flour, baking powder, soda, salt, and spices.
Step 3
Add the flour and water alternately to the creamed mixture. You may add the optional raisins and chopped nuts at this step.
