Chocolate and Orange Potato Cake

It may sound a bit weird, but it tastes fantastic! I defy anyone to know what's in it if you don't tell 'em ;)

Ingredients:
  • 120g potatoes, peeled, boiled and mashed
  • 225g demerara sugar
  • 225g self-raising flour
  • 30g cocoa powder
  • 175g butter
  • 3 eggs, beaten
  • 110g plain chocolate, melted
  • grated rind and juice of 1 orange

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 180C and grease and line a 24cm cake tin.
2. In a large bowl cream the mashed potato, butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
3. Beat in eggs and gradually stir in the melted chocolate and juice and rind of an orange.
4. Lightly fold in the cocoa powder and flour and pour the mixture into the cake tin.
5. Bake in the centre of the oven for 30-40 minutes.
