Number Of Ingredients 12

1 ½ cups Idahoan® Original Mashed Potatoes (must be from the box, not in the pouch)
¼ cup sugar
¼ cup loosely packed fresh mint leaves
¾ cup butter, softened
2 ½ cups confectioners' sugar, divided
3 large eggs eggs
2 ¼ cups heavy whipping cream, divided
2 tablespoons lemon juice
2 teaspoons grated lemon peel
1 (10 ounce) jar lemon curd*
1 quart fresh strawberries, sliced
2 cups blueberries

Steps:

  • Place sugar and mint in a small food processor; cover and process until blended. Set aside.
  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.
  • In a large bowl, cream butter and 1-3/4 cups confectioners sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in 4-1/2 teaspoons reserved mint mixture. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Add mashed potato flakes alternately with 1/4 cup cream. Stir in lemon juice and peel.
  • Pour into a greased and floured 9 x 13-inch baking dish. Bake for 60-70 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes before removing from pan to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • In a large bowl, beat remaining cream until it begins to thicken. Add 1/2 cup confectioners sugar and 1 tablespoon mint mixture; beat until stiff peaks form. Fold in lemon curd; set aside.
  • In another bowl, combine strawberries and blueberries with remaining mint mixture and confectioners sugar.
  • Cube cake into 2 squares. Layer in glassware starting with a dollop of the cream mixture, a spoonful of berries and a couple cake cubes. Repeat.

This cake was a little dry for my taste. I think I might add some extra butter or oil next time.

I'm not a big fan of lemon desserts, but this cake was surprisingly good. The mint really helped to balance out the tartness of the lemon.

I didn't have any mint on hand, so I used basil instead. It was still really good!
