Ingredients
1 cup mashed roasted sweet potato
1 cup cornmeal
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 large eggs
1 cup buttermilk
1/3 cup melted unsalted butter
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
1. Roast a medium sweet potato at 400°F (200°C) for 45 minutes, peel, mash, and let cool.
2. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease or preheat a 9-inch baking dish or cast-iron skillet.
3. In a large bowl, whisk cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
4. In another bowl, whisk eggs, mashed sweet potato, buttermilk, melted butter, and vanilla until smooth.
5. Fold the wet mixture into the dry ingredients gently until just combined.
6. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top.
7. Bake for 30–35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
8. Let cool for 10–15 minutes before slicing and serving.
Notes
Roast the sweet potato in advance for better flavor and less moisture.
Preheating a cast-iron skillet gives a crispy golden crust.
Don’t overmix the batter to keep the texture light and tender.
