VIVALDI
CHOCOLATE POTATO CAKE
Ingredients
for the cake
180g
Butter
125g
Sugar
3
Eggs
Pinch
of Cinnamon
1
Teaspoon of Vanilla Essence
180g
of self –raising Flour
75ml
of Milk
80g
Coco Powder
1
Teaspoon of Baking Powder
110g
of Mashed Vivaldi Potato
for
the chocolate Icing
120g
Soft Butter
240g
of Icing Sugar
2
Tablespoons of Coco powder or melted Chocolate
1
Teaspoon of Vanilla Essence
Method
Pre-heat
oven to 190°C/375°F/Gas mark 5
Whisk
together the butter and sugar until it is light in colour.
Add
one egg and whisk again adding a little flour.
Repeat this until all the eggs and flour has been whisked in.
Add
the cinnamon, coco powder, baking powder, milk and vanilla essence and whisk
again.
Add
the mashed Potato and whisk thoroughly. This
will ensure you do not have any lumps in your mixture and enough air has been
introduced into it in order for it to rise.
Place
mixture in 8”/20” cake tin and place in oven for 30 mins
Turn
oven down to 180°C/350°F Gas mark 4 and cook for a further 20 mins.
Remove
from oven and leave to cool for 20 mins, then remove from tin and place on wire
rack
Icing
Beat
butter and icing sugar together until light and creamy.
Add
Coco powder and Vanilla essence and mix again
When
cake has cooled, apply icing. You
can also decorate your cake with chocolate buttons and Smarties for special
occasions.
All
ovens are different and if you are unsure if your cake is cooked, ask a grown up
to gently press the middle of it. If
it is cooked the cake should spring back to place.
If it leaves a finger mark, the cake has not cooked enough and needs more
cooking time.
SAFETY
IN THE KITCHEN
It
is so important to have an adult in the kitchen with you when you are cooking.
So many accidents happen in the kitchen because people do not take the
necessary precautions. Below is a
list. I would like you to put a tick
next to the sentence that is correct, and a cross next to the sentence that is
incorrect. Show an adult to see if
you have got it right.
*
Always cook with supervision
*
Don’t bother to wear oven gloves
*
Don’t drop sharp knives in the sink
*
Wash hands, tie back hair and wear an apron
*
Leave the kitchen a mess
* Don’t forget to time the cake cooking
*
Be responsible & use the kitchen equipment with care
