Time 1h30m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 1/2 lbs sweet potatoes
1/4 cup melted butter
2 eggs
1/4 cup dark brown sugar, firmly packed
1/2 cup milk
1 1/2 tablespoons vanilla extract
1/4 cup light molasses
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
1/8 teaspoon clove
1 teaspoon grated orange zest (do not include the white pith, which is bitter)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375°F.
  • Cook the potatoes unpeeled until tender throughout.
  • Let cool.
  • Peel and mash the potatoes, then stir in melted butter.
  • In a bowl, beat the eggs, add sugar and beat thoroughly.

  • Cover with foil and bake for 50 minutes ; uncover, then bake for 10 minutes.
  • Allow the pone to cool completely before serving.

Tips:

  • Choose the right sweet potatoes: Use firm and evenly shaped sweet potatoes for a perfect pone. Avoid any with blemishes or bruises.
  • Cook the sweet potatoes properly: Boil or steam the sweet potatoes until they are tender but not mushy. This will ensure a smooth and creamy texture in your pone.
  • Use fresh ingredients: The fresher the ingredients, the better the pone will taste. Use real butter, fresh eggs, and high-quality spices for the best results.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make the pone tough. Mix the ingredients just until they are combined.
  • Bake the pone at the right temperature: The ideal temperature for baking a sweet potato pone is 350°F (175°C). This will ensure that the pone cooks evenly without burning.
