Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams all-purpose flour
- 50 grams unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 150 grams granulated sugar
- 100 grams unsalted butter (softened)
- 2 large eggs
- 200 grams mashed potatoes (plain, no salt or butter)
- 100 milliliters milk
- 1 orange zest of one orange
- 50 milliliters orange juice
- 100 grams dark chocolate (chopped or chips)
- powdered sugar (for dusting, optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease and line an 8-inch (20 cm) round cake tin with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.
Stir in the mashed potatoes, milk, orange zest, and orange juice. Mix until fully combined.
Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture using a spatula, being careful not to overmix.
Gently fold in the chopped dark chocolate or chocolate chips until evenly dispersed throughout the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared cake tin and smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the cake to cool in the tin for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once cooled, dust the top with powdered sugar for a decorative touch, if desired. Slice and serve!
