About This Blog
This blog is primarily cake-recipe based, but, from time to time, I will include some savoury ones too. I also like to write about my travels and encounters, especially if they involve great food. I speak as I find. Opinions expressed are my own, and not sponsored, requested, or paid for by others, unless specifically stated.
My mother made a cake with potato years ago - only remembered it now and from what I can remember it was very moist! After all it is a starch.....
ReplyDeleteIndeed it is, Maggie, and you can't taste the potato in it at all.
DeleteYour chocolate cake sounds amazing!

Thank you very much for your comment, Elpiniki, just followed yours to, and will add it to my blogroll.
DeletePut's a whole different meaning on 'potato' cake!
ReplyDeleteMargaret
It certainly does, M!
DeleteThis is very interesting Colette!! Must give it a go, love carrot cake so why not this!! Love the way you decorated it, very elegant!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Paula. It tastes great, and you cannot tell there are potatoes in it. The daisies are from Dr. Oetker (edible wafers), handy to have :)
DeleteColette, this cake sounds very interesting. Will have to try it, need to get my hands on another potato ricer first though, I threw my last one out in a fit of rage a while ago.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Adrienne. A fork will do a good enough job too. Just give it a thorough mashing :)
DeleteI haven't tried potatoes in a cake, but I added them into a bread, so it's almost the same thing :) I don't own potato ricer (actually I didn't know this name at all), but I do love my potato masher attachment to my blender :)
ReplyDeleteYes, exactly the same idea, Magda. A potato ricer is like a large version of a garlic press, but a fork will do also.
DeleteCute cute potato cake indeed. We have a cheesy potato scone recipe that calls for raw grated potato and it produces a lovely moist scone too. Love getting the veg into the sweets for the kids.
ReplyDeleteAw, thank you, Móna, it was certainly a surprise for me, and a great addition to a cake, or, indeed a scone. Will be hunting down more potato recipes!
DeletePotatoes you say? Mama mia.......but the result I can see is amazing.....pretty too....
ReplyDeleteThank you for your comment, Catríona. You cannot taste the potato whatsoever! Lots of folks see potato and think it will be awful, but it's really moist and very surprising.
