3 tablespoons granulated sugar
2 tablespoons Gold Medal™ all-purpose flour
1 3/4 cups whipping cream

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 325°F. Wrap outside bottom and side of 9-inch springform pan with foil to prevent leaking. Lightly spray inside bottom and side of pan with cooking spray.

Tips:

  • Choose the right type of potato. Russet potatoes are the best choice for this cake, as they are firm and have a low moisture content. This will help to prevent the cake from becoming too dense.
  • Boil the potatoes until they are very soft. This will make them easier to mash and will help to create a smooth cake batter.
  • Mash the potatoes until they are completely smooth. Any lumps will make the cake gritty.
  • Use a light hand when mixing the batter. Overmixing will make the cake tough.
  • Bake the cake in a preheated oven. This will help to ensure that the cake rises evenly.
  • Let the cake cool completely before frosting it. This will help to prevent the frosting from melting.
  • Serve the cake at room temperature. This will allow the flavors to meld together and will make the cake easier to cut.

Conclusion:

Chocolate spice cake with potato is a delicious and unique dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be customized to your own taste. So next time you are looking for a new cake recipe, give this one a try. You won't be disappointed!
