Grandma Pondelik s Sweet Potato Pone

1 cup softened butter

1 cup brown sugar

½ cup molasses

½ teaspoon ground cinnamon

½ teaspoon ground nutmeg

½ teaspoon ground cloves

¼ teaspoon salt

4 large sweet potatoes, peeled and grated

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

2 eggs, beaten

1 (12 fluid ounce) can evaporated milk

Preheat an oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.

Beat the butter, sugar, molasses, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and salt together in a large bowl until smooth. Stir in the sweet potatoes, vanilla extract, eggs, and evaporated milk until evenly blended. Pour into the prepared baking dish.

Bake in the preheated oven until the sweet potatoes are tender, and the top of the pone is golden brown, about 1 hour.
