1
["Heat the oven to 180u00b0C.
2
Place the sweet potatoes on a foil sheet and oven them for 40-60 minutes, depending on their size: you must wait until they're fork tender.", "In the meantime, you can mix the other ingredients.
3
In two different bowls mix the dry (flour, sugar, spices, baking soda) and the wet ingredients (eggs, vanilla extract, olive oil).", "When the potatoes are ready, peel them, mash them with a fork or a masher and add them to the wet ingredients.", "Last, mix all the ingredients using a wood spoon. Notice that it will not be a cake texture dough, nor a bread one, it will be right in the middle, not dry enough to be picked up with your hands, not wet enough to be easily worked with the spoon.", "Place the mixture into a plum cake pan, with baking paper, of course.
4
Set the oven to 160u00b0C and bake the bread for 40-45 minutes.", "Now you have a delicious super yummy sweet potato bread!"]

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
Coconut cream is a reliable plant-based alternative to dairy cream.
