Makes
one 9-trudge cake
Author Notes
This recipe is a riff on the one I exhibit in the e book ‘Fika: The Artwork of the Swedish Espresso Smash” by Anna Brones and Johanna Kindvall. When you devour cardamom, buns of all stripes, and dense, rye bread it’s worth attempting out. Kronans kaka became as soon as before all the pieces developed in the 1800’s as a formulation to reduce flour utilization, as wheat became as soon as particularly pricey at the time. On the different hand, the recipe furthermore comes in to hand any time you detect your self with a glut of leftover mashed potatoes and a sweet enamel. (Bonus: it’s gluten-free, too.) —Catherine Lamb

unsalted butter, at room temperature
1/2 cup
pure cane sugar (or granulated sugar)
2
eggs
1 cup
uncooked almonds, finely ground-
Zest of 1/2 an orange
1
big potato (devour russet) or 2 tiny potatoes, peeled and boiled till delicate (or 1 cup mashed potatoes, as prolonged as they enjoy no longer appear to be flavored with garlic, chives, or shapely issues)

Vanilla or almond extract, if desired
Instructions

- Pour the batter into the baking pan and bake for 40 to 50 minutes, till the slay is golden brown. If the cake starts to catch a golden brown shade earlier (evaluation it after 30 minutes), rob away it from the oven, duvet it with aluminum foil, and assign apart back in the oven. This might occasionally per chance per chance just cease the slay of the cake from burning.
- Eradicate from oven and let cold, then minimize into slices. The authors counsel pairing it with a dollop of whipped cream, creme fraiche, or rhubarb jam, all of which might per chance per chance per chance be superb.
