Potatoes in dessert? Many cooks never think of the possibility. But this delicious cake gets its moist texture from Idaho spuds. We raise them here on our farm, and our son has also developed and markets potato ice cream! LaRene Reed, Idaho Falls, Idaho Ingredients:
1 cup butter, softened |
2 cups sugar |
2 eggs |
1 cup cold mashed potatoes |
1 teaspoon vanilla extract |
2 cups king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
1/4 cup baking cocoa |
1 teaspoon baking soda |
1 cup 2% milk |
1 cup chopped nuts |
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in potatoes and vanilla. Combine the flour, cocoa and baking soda; add alternately with milk, beating well after each addition. Stir in nuts.
2. Pour into a greased 13-in. x 9-in. baking pan. Bake at 350° for 40-45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool on a wire rack. Yield: 12-16 servings.
