Ingredients
For the Loaf
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons sour cream
- 1 cup sweet potato mashed
- 1 tablespoon pumpkin pie spice
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup vegetable oil
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 cup pecans chopped
- ½ cup golden raisins
For the Glaze
- ½ cup powdered sugar
- 5-6 teaspoons milk
- ¼ cup pecans chopped
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350º Fahrenheit. Spray a 9x5 bread pan with cooking spray, line it with parchment paper, and spray the paper again.
- Whisk the eggs, granulated sugar, and sour cream in a large mixing bowl until well combined. Add mashed sweet potato, pumpkin pie spice, salt, and vegetable oil, and continue to whisk.
- Fold the flour and baking powder into the batter, and add the raisins and one cup of pecans. Pour the batter into the prepared pan.
- Bake for 60-70 minutes or until an inserted toothpick comes out clean. The loaf will be toasty brown and slightly crispy around the outside.
- Cool in the pan for at least 30 minutes before placing on a cooling rack to cool completely to room temperature.
- Whisk the icing sugar with 4-5 teaspoons of milk in a small mixing bowl. The glaze should be thicker.
- Drizzle the glaze over the top of the loaf and allow it to drip down the sides. Sprinkle the top with the remaining pecans.
