Chocolate Potato Cake Recipe
I've never heard of this much less tried it. It is certainly unique sounding if nothing else.

This is unique... I have a cookie recipe thathas mashed potatoes in it...macaroons..


Marion Morash's "Victory Garden Cookbook" has a spice cake which uses mashed, cooked sweet potatoes. It is wonderful and moist. There seem to be precedents to this one!


This is good, I've made it without the nuts and I've added melted chocolate too... yum!


This is very similar to an old family recipe passed down to me. Very tasty and a Christmas tradition for many years.
