List of Ingredients
2 cups of unsifted all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons of baking powder
1/4 teaspoon of baking soda
1/2 teaspoon of salt
1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon of freshly grated nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon of ground allspice
1/4 teaspoon of ground ginger
1/2 cup of chopped walnuts
4 tablespoons of (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, melted and cooled
1/3 cup of firmly packed light brown sugar
1/3 cup of granulated sugar
2 extra large eggs, at room temperature
2 tablespoons of milk, at room temperature
2 tablespoons of light cream, at room temperature
1 teaspoon of pure vanilla extract
2 teaspoons of finely grated orange rind
1 cup of steamed and pureed sweet potatoes, at room temperature
Cinnamon Walnut Topping-
2 tablespoons of cold unsalted butter, cut into small cubes
4 tablespoons of chopped walnuts
3 tablespoons of granulated sugar
1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon
Lightly butter and flour a 10 x 3 3/4 x 3 inch loaf pan; set aside. Preheat the oven to 350ºF. Sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice and ginger onto a large sheet of waxed paper. Place the walnuts in a small bowl and toss with 1 teaspoon of the sifted mixture. Stir together the melted butter, brown sugar and granulated sugar in a large mixing bowl, using a wooden spoon or flat paddle. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, blending well after each one. Beat in the milk, cream, vanilla, orange rind and pureed sweet potatoes. Add the sifted flour mixture and stir. Fold in the floured walnuts. Spoon the batter into the prepared pan. For the topping, put the butter cubes, walnuts, sugar and cinnamon in a small mixing bowl. Crumble the mixture together with your fingertips until the butter is broken down into small bits. Sprinkle the topping evenly over the top of the cake. Bake the cake on a rack placed in the lower third of the preheated oven for about 45 minutes, or until a wooden pick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean and dry. Let cool in the pan on a wire rack for 5 minutes. Invert onto a second cooling rack, then invert again to cool. Makes one 10 x 3 3/4 x 3 inch loaf cake.
