In a mixing bowl, whisk the flour, baking soda, salt, allspice and cinnamon together.
In a separate mixing bowl, beat the sugars adn vegetable oil until the sugars are dissolved and smooth. Add the vanilla and mashed sweet potatoes and blend well. Stir in half of the flour mixture. Add the water and eggs and stir well. Add the remaining flour mixture and blend well. Pour into the loaf pan and bake for about 1 hour.
