Time 1h55m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 14

3 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
⅓ cup packed dark brown sugar
⅓ cup all-purpose flour
10 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened, divided
½ cup chopped pecans
⅓ cup packed brown sugar
2 large eggs, beaten
½ cup evaporated milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon cinnamon
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon ground cloves
¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
  • Combine sweet potatoes and oil in a bowl and toss to coat. Lay on a shallow baking sheet.
  • Roast until slightly charred, about 45 minutes, turning regularly to prevent burning on the bottom.
  • While potatoes are roasting, combine 1/3 cup brown sugar and flour in a medium-sized bowl. Add 3 tablespoons butter and cut into the dry ingredients. Stir in pecans until evenly mixed. Set crumble mixture aside.
  • Combine 1/3 cup brown sugar, remaining 7 tablespoons butter, eggs, evaporated milk, vanilla extract, cinnamon, salt, cloves, and nutmeg in a large mixing bowl. Set aside until potatoes are done roasting.
  • Remove potatoes from oven and reduce heat to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Transfer sweet potatoes to the brown sugar mixture in the large mixing bowl. Toss until well combined.
  • Spoon sweet potato mixture into a 1 1/2-quart casserole dish. Top with crumble mixture, distributing evenly to form a crust.
  • Bake in the hot oven until lightly browned on top, 30 to 40 minutes. Let rest for 10 minutes before serving.

Categories     dessert

Time 1h30m

Yield 8 to 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

3 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and large diced
1/4 cup whole milk
1 teaspoon ground cardamom
4 to 6 tablespoons light brown sugar
Cooking spray
1 large egg
1 cup packed light brown sugar
1 cup plain Greek yogurt
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Zest of one orange
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon fine salt
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup packed light brown sugar
1 stick (8 tablespoons) unsalted butter, melted

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • For the mashed sweet potatoes: Cover the sweet potatoes with cold water in a medium saucepan and simmer over medium heat until fork-tender, 12 to 15 minutes. Drain off the excess water and transfer the potatoes to the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Add the milk, cardamom and 4 tablespoons of the brown sugar and mix on medium until smooth, 3 to 4 minutes. Taste and add more brown sugar if desired. Set aside to cool.
  • Spray a 9-by-13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
  • For the cake layer: In a clean bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream together the egg and brown sugar until fluffy and thick, about 4 minutes. Add the yogurt, oil, vanilla extract and orange zest and mix until well combined. Add the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Mix until the batter just comes together; it will be thick. Spread the batter into the bottom of the greased baking dish. Cover the batter evenly with the sweet potato mixture.
  • For the crumble: Combine the flour, brown sugar and melted butter in a small bowl. Mix with your hands until the mixture forms a rough crumbly texture. Sprinkle over the sweet potato and bake until the bottom is set and the crumb topping is golden brown, about 30 minutes.
