Hi Penny,
I think it's a matter of taste. I usually cut the portions of butter and
sugar in recipes because they call for too much butter and sugar. Too much
for my liking anyway. When a recipe calls for 1 cup butter I use 1/2 cup.
When they say 3 cups sugar I use 1.5 cup. It doesn't hurt the recipe at all.
In this case I think 2/3 cups butter is not too much, but again it's a
matter of taste.

Subject: [CnD] The Sweet Potato Tea Bread Recipe
To the person who shared the Sweet Potato Tea Bread Recipe -- it's
delicious but I wonder if there's a mistake in the recipe.
Here is what you shared:
Sweet Potato Tea Cake
Call it tea cake or call it quick bread,
or call it delicious...all three work for this sweet potato treat.

1 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 cup granulated sugar
1 cup sweet potatoes, cooked and mashed

list end
list of 3 items

salt, cinnamon and sugar into mixing bowl. Make a well in center.
Measure remaining
ingredients into well. Stir carefully, just enough to mix.
2. Pour into greased 9 x 5-inch loaf pan.

I made it, we are enjoying it, but it baked for an hour and 40
minutes! Do you think the recipe should read "1 third cup of butter?
Thanks.
Penny
