Playing For You From Our Scented Cottage..

Think what a better world it would be if we all, the whole world, had cookies and milk about three o'clock every afternoon and then lay down on our blankets for a nap.

Leftover Mashed Potatoes?


Bake some Chocolate Potato Cupcakes! This recipe will also make a double layer 8 inch cake or you can use a bundt pan. Frost with whipped cream topping or your favorite frosting and enjoy!


Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups self-rising flour
2/3 cup sugar
2 oz. plain chocolate, melted or 4 level tablespoons cocoa
1/2 tsp. salt
1/3 cup cooked mashed potato
1/2 cup butter
4 tablspoons milk
2 eggs

Cream the butter and sugar with the mashed potato, then add the melted chocolate or the cocoa. Add the beaten eggs, alternately with the flour and the salt. Finally pour in the milk, mixing well, to make a soft dough. Fill muffin tins or grease two 8inch cake pans and divide batter equally between them. Bake in a 350 degrees oven for 15-20 minutes for cupcakes and 25-30 minutes for cake pans. Cake is done when toothpick inserted comes out clean. The tops will also be springy to the touch when done. Cool and then frost with whipped cream or desired frosting.
