Chocolate Potato Cake

This Chocolate Potato Cake is a moist and decadent treat that's surprisingly easy to make. The secret ingredient? Mashed potatoes! They add a wonderful texture and keep the cake incredibly moist. Don't worry, you won't taste the potato, just pure chocolatey goodness.

Method

1

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.

2

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.

3

In a separate bowl, combine the sugar, eggs, oil, buttermilk, vanilla extract, and mashed potatoes. Mix well.

4

Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.

5

Stir in the hot coffee until the batter is smooth.

6

Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.

7

Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.

8

Frost with your favorite chocolate frosting (optional).
