One of the best cakes I ever made was a chocolate and beetrood cake, root vegatables are an underestimated cake base.

very creative, but I must say...

Chocolate and potatoes is just wrong...

My son has the taste buds of a pregnant woman. I think we'll make him this for a birthday cake. The name alone got him jumping up and down!

You can't taste the potato it just makes the cake very moist...

Hhhhhmmmm moist.

I have made many recipes with choc and sweet potato.

Trust me as a baker...It's a natural.

Peace

It sounds weird but I'd try it. Why not?

You should try it before saying it's wrong.

Unavoidable, my previous line reminds the well known similarity between chocolate and some sexual practices.

What why don't I know of these preferences?
Do you dip it in chocolate?.

During WW2 root vegatables were used and actually promoted by the coallition goverment as the sweetness of parsnips was a viable alternative to flour and sugar.

It became a trend again in posh nosh resteraunts a few years ago.

If you can have cheesecake why not potato cake?

CHEESE CAKE???

Oh bugger...I wish you told me that five mins ago lol.

a reply to: boymonkey74

I like the idea of chocolate and mash potatoes

I like it that much that I started to study your recipe indepth whether I would be able to bake it myself.

how did you get the layering effect ??

makes me think you did not try it yourself - maybe you are only taste budd dreaming in your mind.

a reply to: Sanssouci

Oh thats not my cake lol.
Mine would be just a big mess of cake .
My Mum normally makes it, I made it at Christmas and while lovely it didn't look good.
Oh and why would I put up a recipe I have not tried?.

Yum scrum, if I flag your post does it save forever in my place. I will def try but with gluten free flour. Potatoe anything is great. Baked potatoe with a dollop of honey and lashings of butter. Thank your mum for us.

a reply to: boymonkey74

please ask your mum how she created that layering effect and then tell me.

my guess is that she layered the mix with extra chocolate.

i must know this recipe, it seems easy enough even for me to make.

a reply to: Sanssouci

Like I said the pic is not my cake.
I don't think she even layers it.
I don't notice things like that it doesn't last long enough for me to notice.
