Mary's Special Sweet Potato Bread image

I first tasted this wonderful sweet potato bread about 30 years ago, when a nice lady that worked with my husband gave us a loaf for Christmas. It was absolutely heavenly, so moist and delicious! It originally called for baking the loaves in 1 pound coffee cans, but I've since had to switch to loaf pans because I can no longer...
