Father's Day- Potato Chocolate Cake

A Delicious Chocolate Cake Recipe That You Can Prepare With Your Kids For Father's Day

Ingredients

For the cake:

• 2 eggs
• 2 cups white sugar
• 1 cup potatoes, boiled and mashed
• 3 tsp unsweetened cocoa powder
• 2 tsp baking powder
• 3/4 cup milk
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 cup butter
• 1 tsp vanilla extract

For the filling:

• 3 tbsp all-purpose flour
• 2 cups milk
• 3 tsp unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1 1/2 cups white sugar
• 1 tsp whiskey
• 1 tsp butter 

For the Chocolate Ganache

• 225 g finely chopped dark chocolate
• 1 cup heavy cream

Baking Directions

1. With an electrical beater, mix both sugar and butter until smooth and creamy. Use this method  with every pound cake and I guarantee you'll obtain a wonderful spongy result!
2. Add the eggs, whiskey and vanilla extract while beating.
3. Then add the potato, flour and baking powder
4. Grease a 20 cm round cake mold , pour the batter and place in a preheated oven (350 degrees F- 175 degrees C) for about 35 minutes
5. Meanwhile, pour 2 cups of cold milk in a saucepan, mix-in the flour and the cocoa and bring to a boil while stirring constantly. 
6. Add the sugar, the whiskey and the butter
7. Keep stirring until the mixture is creamy
8. Set a side to cool.
9. For the ganache, boil the cream until it starts rising up then you will know it's perfectly ready to be poured over the finely chopped chocolate. Stir until the chocolate is melted, about 2 minutes. Let the ganache sit at room temperature until it cools. This will take about 4 hours.

Cake Preparation

1. Allow the cake to cool, about 1 hour. Cut it in 3 layers, and spread each layer with our delicious chocolate filling. You can sprinkle some chunky caramelized almonds, yum yum!!!
2. Now, before covering the cake with ganache, trim the borders to get a perfect round, then cover the cake with butter-cream to hide all the imperfections (optional) and cool it in the refrigerator. 1 hour later, place the cake on a cooling rack, and pour the ganache in a circular movement,  starting from the center of the cake and  heading towards the edges.

Let me wish you a Happy Chocolaty Father's Day from How To Be Super Mom and Bon Appétit!!!
