This Sweet Potato Cornbread recipe came out of a 1940's cook book of my grandmother. The name of the cook book is Ida Bailey Allen's Money-Saving Cook Book and it was dedicated to The Patriotic Homemakers of America. The cornbread is simple and delicious! And the sweet potato give it a hint of sweetness that is delightful.
