2. Prepare the Batter: In a small mixing bowl, cream together the butter, margarine, and sugar until smooth and creamy.

3. Incorporate the Egg: Add the egg to the creamed mixture and mix well until fully combined.

4. Combine Dry Ingredients: In another bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, ground cinnamon, ground ginger, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the creamed mixture, stirring until just blended. The batter will be thick.

5. Add Sweet Potatoes: In a separate bowl, combine the mashed sweet potatoes and milk. Stir this mixture into the batter until well blended.

6. Fold in Raisins: Gently fold in the raisins until evenly distributed throughout the batter.

7. Fill the Pans: Transfer the batter into the prepared loaf pans, filling them evenly.

8. Bake: Place the pans in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the loaves are lightly browned and a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. If using an 8-inch round baking pan, bake for 20-25 minutes.

9. Cool: Allow the loaves to cool in the pans for 10 minutes before carefully removing them and transferring to wire racks to cool completely.

Serving:

Once cooled, slice the sweet potato loaves and serve them as a delicious snack or dessert. Enjoy them with a cup of hot tea or coffee for the perfect afternoon treat!
