Every time I tell someone that she is baking her Potato Cake I look into puzzled faces...
No one can imagine that you can make a sweet cake just with Potatoes, no flour needed.
But give it a try it's delicious...
Ingredients
For the cake:
375 g boiled potatoes
300 g sugar
1 package vanilla sugar
1 pinch salt
4 eggs separated into 4 egg yolks and 4 egg white
150 g semolina
1 pinch baking powder
100 g ground hazelnuts
For the cream:
250 g potato
4 tbsp. butter
2 tbsp. sugar
2 tbsp. rum
50 g ground almonds
1 tsp. cocoa powder for decoration
Method
Mix sugar, vanilla sugar, salt and 4 egg yolks until fluffy.
Gradually add potatoes ( process them through a potato ricer before that).
You get the best results if you cook the potatoes the day before.
Then add the semolina, baking powder and ground hazelnuts and stir.
Beat the egg whites until fluffy and gently fold in.
Bake for 50 minutes at 175 ° to 200 °, switch off the oven and leave the cake in the warm oven for another 10 minutes.
Prepare the cream.
Beat the butter until fluffy, gradually add the sugar, then stir in potatoes (processed through a potato ricer like the ones you used before), in the end add the rum and almonds.
Divide the cake into 3 cake bases.
Spread the bottom base with the cream, apply the second base on top, spread the top of that base with cream as well. Now apply the third base on top of that.
Now you cover the whole cake with the rest of the cream.
Sprinkle the top of the cake with cocoa powder for decoration.
