INSTRUCTIONS
- Preheat the oven to 190°C.
- Line a large rectangle cake tin 23cm x 30cm with baking paper.
- Sift flour, baking powder, cocoa and salt into a large bowl, whisk to combine and set aside.
- Place chocolate in a heatproof bowl and microwave for 30 second bursts on high, stirring in between, until melted.
- Beat the butter and sugar in an electric mixer until thick and pale. Add melted chocolate and mashed potato and beat until smooth.
- Add the eggs, one at a time with a little of the flour each time, beating well after each addition. Fold in the remaining flour and milk until well combined.
- Place the batter in your lined cake tin and cook for 30 minutes or until a skewer inserted in the centre comes out clean. The cake will be a little fudgy.
- Cool in the pan for 10 minutes before turning out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
- Ice with buttercream (recipe here) and dust with cocoa.
TIP: If you are wanting a generous cake for a celebration double this recipe and sandwich the two cake with buttercream and berries before finishing the outside with buttercream also.
