Equipment

  • Standard Loaf Pan

Ingredients

Cinnamon Streusel Topping 

  • 1 tablespoon Sugar
  • ¾ teaspoon Ground cardamom
  • ¼ teaspoon Ground cinnamon

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups Gluten-free flour - we use gluten-free all purpose baking flour with xanthan gum - we used Better Batter, King Arthur All Purpose Baking Gluten Free Flour (can sub Bob’s Red Mill All purpose) because they work well. 
  • ¾ teaspoon Baking soda
  • 1½ teaspoons Baking powder
  • 3 tablespoons Bob’s Egg Replacer - just dry powder with dry ingredients
  • ¾ teaspoon Ground cardamom
  • ½ teaspoon each Ground Nutmeg, Ginger And Black Pepper
  • ¼ teaspoon Ground Cinnamon

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 ¼ cup Sweet Potato Puree
  • 1 ⅓ cups Granulated sugar
  • ½ cup Vegetable oil
  • ½ cup Orange Juice
  • 6 tablespoons Water
  • 1 teaspoon Orange Extract

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F. Grease a standard loaf pan ( 9x5x3 inches approximately) and set aside.
  • Mix ingredients for cinnamon streusel topping and set aside
  • In a large bowl, whisk together wet ingredients: sweet potato, oil, water, orange juice, orange extract and sugar until smooth.
  • In separate bowl mix dry ingredients: gluten-free flour, baking powder, baking soda, dry egg powder, salt and spices.
  • Combine dry ingredients into wet with a hand mixer on low, whisk or by hand. It’s important to do these in increments like ½ cup to incorporate dry ingredients well without lumps.
  • Let rest for 30 minutes.
  • Spoon mixture into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing out the top. Sprinkle with sugar mixture 
  • Bake for approximately 90 minutes until well done. Once a toothpick inserted into the middle comes out clean take the temperature of your loaf. The temperature should be approximately 205-210º F when it is completely done.
  • Remove from the oven and let cool about 30 minutes.
