Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease and flour a 9 x 5 or 8 ½ x 4 ½ loaf pan or the Harvest Bounty Bread Loaf. Set aside.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon, ginger, and salt. Set aside.
Mix the brown sugar, oil, and maple syrup in a large bowl. Add the eggs and vanilla and mix until well combined. Stir in the flour mixture with 1/3 cup water. Fold in the sweet potatoes and chopped pecans if using. Transfer the batter to the prepared loaf pan and tap the pan gently on the counter to remove any air bubbles.
Bake for 50 minutes to 1 hour, or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out mostly clean. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting it and cooling completely on a metal rack.
