How to Make Jazz Fest Sweet Potato Pone

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
Pierce sweet potatoes several times with a fork. Bake directly on the oven rack for 45-60 minutes, or until easily pierced with a fork.
Let the potatoes cool slightly, then peel and mash thoroughly.
Stir in the melted butter until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs and sugar until light and fluffy.
Add the milk, vanilla extract, molasses, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and orange zest to the egg mixture. Whisk until well blended.
Gently fold the wet ingredients into the mashed sweet potatoes until just combined. Do not overmix.
Pour the batter into a well-buttered 1 1/2-quart baking dish.
Optionally, sprinkle the top with brown sugar.
Cover the baking dish with foil and bake for 50 minutes.
Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the top is lightly golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let the pone cool completely before serving. Enjoy!
