- 1 cup golden raisins, optional
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp allspice
- 1 tsp ground ginger
Instructions
First, in a
large bowl, combine the sugar, eggs, cooking oil and sweet potato.
Then, sift
together the flour, salt, baking powder and all the spices and add to the sweet
potato mixture.
Finally,
stir in the raisins, if you are using them.
Place the
dough in 12 greased or paper-lined muffin cups.
Bake at 350
degrees F for about 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted
in the center
comes out clean. Happy Cooking Time.
