This sounds really interesting. I have never heard of potatoes in a cake before.I bet they make the cake relly moist if I had to guess. Thanks for this post. I am printing it out.

I guess if you can make potato bread, you can make potato cake? LOL Mashed potatoes make soft, moist bread so I suppose this cake would be tender and moist too. Great idea. Think I'll try it. Thanks for posting :)
