If you are a follower of my space, you might have noticed that am running this week's blogging marathon with a super interesting theme . My theme for this week's blogging marathon is 'Secret Ingredient'. How interesting na. After making a fabulous Butternut squash chocolate loaf like cake and a soft tofu bread, i couldnt stop myself to bake an another fantastic cake with potatoes. Yes you heard it rite, my today's post calls for mashed potatoes and that is the Secret ingredient of today's baking treat. Mashed potatoes are good replacement of eggs in cakes,if am making eggless cakes i'll replace eggs usually with applesauce or else with yogurt. But trust me, mashed potatoes works wonder to bake some eggless baked treats.
Mashed potatoes gives an extremely fudgy like texture to this cake, definitely a super moist cake to enjoy with favourite drink or else with a scoop of icecream. Yes this cake makes an excellent dessert to relish after a meal. With easily available ingredients, this mini cakeS will definitely gets ready with less efforts.Though i baked mini sized cakes, you can still bake as muffins as well. This cake is completely eggfree and butterfree, but not vegan as i used yogurt in this mini cute cakes. Also to bring the nuttiness, i couldnt resist to sprinkle some almond flakes on the top.
Remove from the cake pan and enjoy.
