How to Make Dora Beavers Pecan Chocolate Potato Cake
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 13x9x2 inch baking pan.
- In a large bowl, sift together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, and baking soda.
- In a separate bowl, cream together the Crisco shortening and sugar until light and fluffy. This step is easier with an electric mixer.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
- Gently fold in the mashed potatoes and chopped pecans.
- Pour batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
- Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the cake cool completely in the pan before cutting into bars.
- Top with whipped cream and serve with ice cream, if desired.
