Time 1h15m

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 c butter
2 c sugar
3 c flour
1/2 c milk
4 Tbsp cocoa powder
1 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp clove, ground
1/4 tsp nutmeg
1 c plain cooked mashed potatos
1 c pecan chopped
4 eggs

Steps:

  • 1. Boil your potatos and mash. Sift all of the dry ingredients. Melt butter. Now mix all ingredients together mixing with a wooden spoon. I lightly beat the eggs before adding. Also make sure their are no big lumps in the potatoes. Mix very well. Pour batter into a greased & floured bundt pan.
  • 2. Bake in a pre-heated oven at 350 for 1 hour. Checking to see if inserted toothpick comes out clean. DO NOT OVER COOK.
  • 3. This recipe does not call for and icing, however if you like you can add one. We have always eaten without one. I hope you will enjoy this cake.
