Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
Butter a 9×5 loaf pan and line the bottom and sides with parchment paper for easy removal.
In a large bowl, whisk together oil, melted butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, sweet potato puree, eggs, and vanilla until smooth.
In a separate bowl, mix the dry ingredients: flour, baking powder, salt, ginger, nutmeg, cloves, and cinnamon.
Combine the dry mixture with the wet ingredients until just incorporated.
Fold in the chopped pecans gently.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and shake it to even out the surface.
Bake for 50-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes before transferring it to a cooling rack.
Let the bread cool completely before glazing.

Notes

Make sure sweet potato puree is smooth for the best texture.
You can top this bread with extra nuts or a glaze of your choice for added flavor.
Store the bread in an airtight container to maintain freshness.
