Number Of Ingredients 9

1 large potato, peeled and cubed
1 cup shortening
2 cups white sugar
4 eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
ΒΌ teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch pan. Bring a small pot of water to boil, add potato and let it boil until tender (approximately 10 minutes). Drain well, then mash. Set aside 1 cup.

I'm allergic to blueberries, so I substituted raspberries in this recipe. It turned out great!

This cake is a bit too dense for my taste. I think it would be better with a lighter texture.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my cake didn't turn out at all. It was dry and crumbly.

I'm not a big fan of blueberries, but I still enjoyed this cake. The potato flavor is really mellow and pairs well with the sweetness of the blueberries.

I had some trouble getting the cake to come out of the pan in one piece. I think I should have greased the pan more thoroughly.

I found this cake to be a bit too sweet for my taste. I would have preferred it with less sugar.

This cake is a bit dense, but I still enjoyed it. I think it would be even better with a dollop of whipped cream or ice cream.
