The hidden weapon of the baker is the potato. They give baked goods, such as cakes and breads of various kinds, great moisture and structure. The truth is that no one will know until you tell them that you can reduce some of the fat and add fibre and nutrients to make sumptuous desserts a bit less harmful by including boiled potatoes.
NOTES FOR A TEST KITCHEN
WHO: Janeofmanytrade is a Nashville-based pastry chef, beekeeper, and former soccer mom.
WHAT: Potatoes in their most decadent, chocolaty state.
HOW: Use the wet ingredient-dry ingredient cake shuffle, melt chocolate, and mash a potato before baking. Add a chocolate glaze on top.
WHY WE LOVE IT: We adore the way the potato gives a certain moistness to chocolate cakes that they sometimes lack without making them feel overly starchy or salty. Additionally, the cake’s bundt pan-touching edges turn crackly, creating the ideal contrast with the cake’s soft inside.
