How To Make granny's irish potato chocolate cake

Step 1

Boil your potatos and mash. Sift all of the dry ingredients. Melt butter. Now mix all ingredients together mixing with a wooden spoon. I lightly beat the eggs before adding. Also make sure their are no big lumps in the potatoes. Mix very well. Pour batter into a greased & floured bundt pan.

Step 2

Bake in a pre-heated oven at 350 for 1 hour. Checking to see if inserted toothpick comes out clean. DO NOT OVER COOK.
Step 3

This recipe does not call for and icing, however if you like you can add one. We have always eaten without one. I hope you will enjoy this cake.
