A little alteration here and there (like including Idahoan's Original Mashed Potatoes) to this wonderfully rich cake made with Coca-Cola® and a new favorite was created. Ingredients:
2 cups idahoan® boxed original mashed potatoes, dry |
1 stick unsalted butter |
8 ounces coca-cola® (or guinness® for an adult cake) |
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder |
1 3/4 cups superfine sugar |
1/2 cup sour cream |
2 medium eggs |
1 tablespoon vanilla |
2 1/2 teaspoons baking soda |
frosting |
2 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese |
1/3 cup heavy cream |
3/4 cup powdered sugar |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Coat the sides and bottom of spring form pan with nonstick cooking spray.
2. Melt stick of butter in a large, wide sauce pan.
3. Add cola, cocoa powder and superfine sugar and whisk until smooth. Remove from heat.
4. Whisk sour cream, eggs and vanilla thoroughly until almost a batter-like consistency and add slowly into the slightly cooled butter mixture.
5. Add dry Original Mashed Potato flakes and baking soda. Stir thoroughly. The batter will have a slightly grainy appearance but don't be concerned.
6. Pour into spring form pan and bake for 45 minutes to an hour. Test center of cake with a wooden toothpick (cake is done when the toothpick comes out clean).
7. Cool and remove from spring form pan. Note: This is a very dark and dense cake.
8. Frosting: The cream cheese should be at room temperature. Add cream and powdered sugar and mix in a food processor or with a large whisk. Adjust powdered sugar and cream to ensure a nicely thick frosting that is still spreadable.
9. Frost just the top of the cake once it's unmolded and serve chilled. This cake is even better the next day!
