INSTRUCTIONS

Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Pierce sweet potato several times with a fork. Bake sweet potato on a parchment paper lined baking sheet for 45 to 60 minutes or until fork tender.
Cool slightly. Cut in half. Scoop flesh into a small bowl and mash with a fork. Measure 1¼ cups (300 mL) and cool completely. Reserve extra sweet potato for another use.
Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). Grease a 9 x 5-inch (1.5 L) loaf pan and line with parchment paper, leaving a 2-inch (5 cm) overhang on either side. Whisk the flour with baking powder, cinnamon, allspice, baking soda, salt and nutmeg; set aside.
In a separate bowl, beat the sugar, oil and eggs until well combined. Beat in cooled mashed sweet potato, milk and vanilla until smooth. Stir in flour mixture until incorporated. Fold in pecans.
Scrape into the prepared pan and smooth top. Bake for 65 to 75 minutes or until cake tester inserted in centre comes out clean. Cool in pan on rack for 20 minutes. Remove from pan using the parchment overhang as handles. Cool completely on wire rack.
