MASHED POTATO CHOCOLATE CAKE



Mashed Potato Chocolate Cake image

I have not tried this recipe but was given this by a co-worker with a suggestion that I might need to try it "hint hint". So I have posted it so I will not lose it. It is supposed to be an extremely moist cake and I plan to use some of the instant mashed potatoes to make it. Update: I have made this cake and it is a very dense cake. Almost like a big brownie. My co-workers loved it but this is not a light, fluffy cake.

Time 45m

Yield 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 cup mashed potatoes, hot and unseasoned
1 cup water, lukewarm
2 cups all-purpose flour, sifted
3/4 cup unsweetened Dutch-processed cocoa powder
2 teaspoons instant coffee granules (optional)
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 pinch salt
1 cup miniature semisweet chocolate chips (optional)
2/3 cup unsalted butter, softened
2 cups granulated sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
4 large eggs

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease and flour a 13 by 9 inch baking pan.
  • Place mashed potatoes into medium bowl. With a whisk, gradually stir in water to form a smooth mixture, do not beat mixture excessively. Cool to lukewarm.
  • Sift flour, cocoa powder, coffee granules, baking soda and salt. Place chocolate chips in small bowl with about 1 Tablespoon of the sifted dry ingredients and stir well until chips are coated. Set aside.
  • In a large bowl, combine butter, sugar and vanilla. Beat 2 minutes at medium speed. Add eggs, 2 at a time, beating in at a low speed until blended. Increase mixer speed to medium; beat 1 minute.

Tips:

  • To ensure a moist and tender cake, use buttermilk or yogurt in the batter. If you don't have buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of milk. Let it sit for 5 minutes before using.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the cake tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the cake in a preheated oven. This will help the cake rise evenly.
  • Don't open the oven door during baking. This can cause the cake to fall.
  • Let the cake cool completely before frosting it. This will help prevent the frosting from melting.
  • If you're using a store-bought frosting, be sure to let it come to room temperature before frosting the cake. This will make it easier to spread.
  • For an extra decadent cake, top it with whipped cream, chocolate chips, or your favorite berries.

Conclusion:

Moist potato chocolate cake is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With its moist and tender crumb, rich chocolate flavor, and creamy frosting, this cake is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
