Pone is a sweet, savory sweet potato bread that's a traditional part of the American South. It's typically baked for breakfast or dessert. This version by Cardea Brown is a dessert-style bread. "My great-grandmother used to make this recipe. She then passed it on to my grandmother, who later passed it on to me. This bread is similar to a pie, but it's made like a casserole," Cardea shares.

The recipes use measuring containers with the following volumes:
1 glass (st.) - 250 ml.
3/4 cup (st.) - 180 ml.
2/3 cup (st.) - 160 ml.

1/3 cup (st.) - 80 ml.
1/4 cup (st.) - 60 ml.
1 tablespoon (tbsp) - 15 ml.
1 teaspoon (tsp) - 5 ml.
1/5 teaspoon (tsp) - 1 ml.

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly spray a 9-inch square baking dish with cooking spray.

Bake until the center is set and the sweet potato is tender, about 40 minutes. Remove the foil and bake until the edges are golden brown, another 10 minutes.
Remove from the oven and let cool to room temperature. Serve chilled or at room temperature with whipped cream.
