    No, I don't know if it's actually Cherokee. I do know it's an old tribal recipe, however, and is quite good with a wonderful texture. You can play around with the nuts or just take them out all together.

    Ingredients

    • 1 3/4 cups all purpose flour
    • 1/4 tsp baking powder
    • 1 tsp baking soda
    • 1tsp salt
    • 1/2 tsp cinnamon
    • 1/4 tsp ground cloves
    • 1/4 cup brown sugar
    • 1/3 cup shortening; softened
    • 2 eggs; beaten
    • 1 cup cooked or canned sweet potatoes; mashed
    • 1/3 cup water
    • 1/2 cup chopped nuts of choice
    • 1/2 cup raisins

    Directions

    1. In a mixing bowl sift together the flour, soda, baking powder, salt and spices. Set aside. In a seperate bowl cream the sugars and shortening until fluffy.
    2. Beat in the eggs, then sweet potatoes, then water. Stir in the dry ingredients, folding in the nuts and raisins.
    3. Pour the batter in to a well greased 9×5 loaf pan. Bake at 350F for 50-60 minutes. Test Bread for doneness.
