Ingredients:

1 1/2 tsp baking soda
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp nutmeg
1/2 tsp salt
3/4 cup light brown sugar, packed
4 ounces unsalted butter, softened
1 large egg, room temperature
1 cup well-mashed or pureed sweet potatoes
1/4 tsp vanilla
1 tsp finely grated orange rind
