Idaho Potato Cake image

Potato in a cake that isn't a latke? You bet! Mashed potato gives this dessert body and a super moist texture. Martha made this on episode 704 of Martha Bakes.

Yield Serves 12 to 16

Number Of Ingredients 13

1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, room temperature, plus more for pan
Cocoa powder, for dusting pan
1 large baking potato (about 10 ounces)
1 3/4 cups cake flour (not self-rising)
1 teaspoon coarse salt
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
2 cups sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
4 ounces semisweet chocolate, melted and slightly cooled
1/2 cup sour cream
Whipped cream, for serving (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Brush a 12-cup Bundt or tube pan with butter. Dust with cocoa, tapping out excess.
  • Peel potato and coarsely chop. Place in a small saucepan and add enough water to cover. Heat over medium-high, bring to a boil, and cook until tender. Drain, then mash until no lumps remain. Measure out 3/4 cup for the recipe; set aside. Reserve the remainder for another use.
  • Whisk together flour, salt, baking powder, and baking soda. In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine butter and sugar and beat on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add eggs, 1 at a time, beating well after each addition. Add vanilla and melted chocolate and beat until thoroughly incorporated. Add potato and beat to combine. Reduce speed to low. Add flour mixture in 2 batches, alternating with sour cream, beating until just combined.
  • Transfer batter to prepared pan and smooth top with an offset spatula. Bake until a cake tester comes out clean, about 50 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool for 20 minutes. Turn out onto rack to cool completely. (Cake can be wrapped in plastic and stored at room temperature up to 1 day or frozen up to 1 month.)
  • When cake has completely cooled, slice with a serrated knife, and serve with a dollop of whipped cream, if desired.

This potato cake is a great way to use up leftover mashed potatoes. I simply mashed some potatoes with butter, milk, and salt and pepper, then used that as the filling. It turned out great!

This potato cake was a disaster! The potato filling was dry and crumbly, and the crust was burnt. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what went wrong. I won't be making this recipe again.

This potato cake is a bit bland. I think it needs more seasoning. I also think the crust is a bit too thick. I would have preferred a thinner, crispier crust.
