Traditional Irish Potato Cake
Ingredients
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 2 teaspoons ground cloves
  • 2 teaspoons ground nutmeg
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 2 cups white sugar
  • 2/3 cup shortening
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 cups mashed cooked potatoes
  • 3/4 cup milk
  • 1 cup chopped walnuts
  • 1 cup raisins
Instructions
1
Begin by preheating your oven to the ideal temperature of 325 degrees Fahrenheit (165 degrees Celsius).
2
Next, take a moment to prepare your 10-inch Bundt pan by greasing it and dusting it with flour.
3
To create the foundation of your cake, combine the following dry ingredients in a bowl: flour, baking powder, cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, and salt. Sift these ingredients together until they are well combined.
4
In a separate large bowl, use an electric mixer to cream together sugar and shortening until the mixture reaches a light and fluffy consistency.
5
Add eggs to this bowl one at a time, beating them in thoroughly after each addition.
6
Mix the flour mixture with mashed potatoes and milk in an alternating pattern to create a smooth batter.
7
Finally, incorporate walnuts and raisins into your batter before pouring it into the prepared Bundt pan.
8
Bake your cake in the preheated oven for 1.5 to 2 hours, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
