Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 20 servings

  • 3 sweet potatoes

  • 3 cups white sugar

  • 4 eggs

  • 1 cup vegetable oil

  • 3 ½ cups all-purpose flour

  • 1 ½ teaspoons salt

  • 2 teaspoons baking soda

  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

  • 2 teaspoons ground nutmeg

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Wash sweet potatoes, slice lengthwise and place on a lightly greased baking sheet. Bake in preheated oven until tender, about 30 minutes. Let cool, peel and mash.
