Canola oil spray
2 large eggs
3/4 cup light brown sugar, firmly packed
1/3 cup canola oil
1 cup mashed canned sweet potatoes
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1/2 tsp. orange extract
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 tsp. nutmeg
1/2 tsp. allspice or mace
1 tsp. baking soda
1 cup chopped dried unsweetened cranberries
1 to 2 Tbsp. Turbinado or Demerara suga(optional)
Recipe
Lightly coat a standard loaf pan (8x4- or 9x5-inch) with canola spray and set aside. Set oven rack in middle and preheat oven to 350 degrees.
In medium bowl, whisk eggs, sugar, sweet potatoes and extracts until well combined.
In large bowl, sift together flour, spices and baking soda. Make a well in center of mixture and add sweet potato mixture. Mix until just moistened. (Do not over-mix or beat batter until smooth.) Lightly stir in cranberries.
Transfer batter to prepared pan. For a more decorative presentation, dust top of batter with light coating of Turbinado or Demerara sugar.
Bake 50 to 60 minutes, or until tester comes out clean. If sugar has been added to top of bread, begin checking bread after 30 minutes. If sugar darkens, lightly lay a sheet of foil on top of pan to prevent burning.
Remove bread from oven and allow to cool 10 minutes on rack. Remove from pan and set back on rack to completely cool. Seal bread tightly in plastic wrap, then foil. Tightly wrapped in both, it can be refrigerated up to 1 week, or frozen up to 1 month.
