# Components:
→ Wet Ingredients
01 - 1 cup mashed cooked sweet potato (about 1 medium sweet potato)
02 - 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted and cooled
03 - 2 large eggs
04 - 1 cup cream soda, at room temperature
05 - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
→ Dry Ingredients
06 - 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
07 - 1/2 cup granulated sugar
08 - 1 tablespoon baking powder
09 - 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
10 - 1/2 teaspoon salt
11 - 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
12 - 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
→ Biscuit Topping
13 - 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
14 - 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
15 - 1 teaspoon baking powder
16 - 1/4 teaspoon salt
17 - 1/4 cup cold unsalted butter, diced
18 - 1/3 cup cream soda
# Directions:
01 - Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease and line a 9x5-inch loaf pan with parchment paper.
02 - In a large bowl, whisk together mashed sweet potato, melted butter, eggs, cream soda, and vanilla extract until smooth.
03 - In a separate bowl, combine all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, ground cinnamon, and ground nutmeg; mix until evenly blended.
04 - Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined; do not overmix.
05 - Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the surface.
06 - For the biscuit topping, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a small bowl. Cut in cold diced butter using a pastry cutter or fork until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in cream soda to form a thick batter.
07 - Drop spoonfuls of the biscuit topping over the loaf batter and lightly swirl with a fork to create a marbled effect.
08 - Bake for 40-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center emerges clean and the topping is golden.
09 - Cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack and cool completely before slicing.
