Potato cake

I baked this cake when our nice Icelandic neighbor came to visit - and the cake was really well received! My husband was also happy about it and took half a piece.

Ingredients

120 g butter
150 g sugar
250 g boiled potatoes
100 g ground almonds
50 g oat flakes

3 - 4 Tbsp rhubarb jam

75 g butter
180 g powdered sugar
1 pinch of ground vanilla


Preparation

Mix butter and sugar until fluffy.

Mash the potatoes into small pieces with a fork or something similar.

Add the potatoes, ground almonds and oat flakes to the butter-sugar mixture and mix everything into a uniform dough.

Pour the dough into a springform pan (approx. 26 cm) lined with baking paper...

...and bake in a preheated oven at 350 °F (180 °C) for about 35 minutes until the cake is nice and golden brown.

Then let the cake cool thoroughly.

Carefully remove the cake from the mold, carefully turn it over, spread it with the jam and place it in the refrigerator for about 1 hour so that the jam can absorb a little.

Then mix the butter with the sugar and the ground vanilla to make the cream as smooth as possible and spread the buttercream on the cake.

Then chill in the fridge for at least 2 hours and then serve well chilled.
