I showed this tiktok to my grandma to make her laugh, but now she’s all excited and actually wants to make a chocolate potato cake. We’re gonna do it.

I’ll keep everyone posted.

It’s happening, folks!

Looks good, but we’re not done yet!

Our sweet, sweet child needs to cool before we add the finishing touches!

My creation is complete!

After dinner, we’ll give it a taste test!

I wonder how it’ll taste.

Oh…

My…

God.

It’s incredible!

This stupid cake, made with potatoes … is delicious! It’s so sweet, moist, and decadent, just like a brownie! And I don’t even like chocolate or potatoes!

The recipe from the tiktok was pretty much impossible to find. I looked high and low, but everyone posted recipes that I KNOW he didn’t use because the ingredients and methods were different. After some searching, my grandma and I came up with our own recipe.

For the Cake:

1 cup mashed potato

2 cups sour cream

1 ¾ cup flour

1 ¾ cup sugar

¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder

½ cup softened butter

2 eggs

1 ½ tsp baking soda

1 tsp vanilla

Pinch of salt

For the Drizzle:

4 oz semi-sweet chocolate

½ cup sugar

3 tbsp corn syrup

2 tbsp water

A lot of recipes called for a mixer or a processor, but my grandma and I wanted to make an every-man kind of recipe, since we know not everyone has those things. Plus they’re heavy and a pain to clean anyway, so bowls it is!

Instructions:

1. Peel and boil the potato, then mash it. Set aside to cool. Go to the bathroom, do your homework, then come back. That should be enough time.

2. Set oven to 350°F.

3. Cream butter. This means putting the sugar and butter into a bowl and mashing it together with a fork until it’s thoroughly mixed.

3. Put everything else in the same bowl, including the mashed potato. Mix and stir well. Work those muscles!

4. Grease a pan (doesn’t matter what kind you use) and spatula batter into pan. Even out if necessary.

5. Bake in oven for 40 minutes.

6. Test cake with pick. If nothing sticks, it’s finished. If batter does stick to pick, let it bake a bit longer but make sure it doesn’t burn. Remove and set aside to cool.

For the Drizzle:

1. Cut chocolate into tiny squares.

2. In a small pot, mix sugar, corn syrup, and water.

3. On medium heat, wait for mixture to sizzle and stir it. Do NOT let it boil.

4. Remove from element and add chocolate.

5. Wait for squares to melt, then mix.

6. Drizzle or pour over cake.

Enjoy!

I’m so glad there’s a recipe now, I really want to try this!

Hey here is a thing that happened. We went for a simple ganache for the glaze. Heated 1 cup of cream till hot then poured over 1 cup of semisweet and 1 cup of milk chocolate chips. Whisk untill melted and pour over your chocolate mash potato cake

Found the original recipe! (Apparently it was listed as a caramel potato cake in the original recipe book??? Anyway, now there’s two CPC recipes!)

Chocolate Potato Cake

½ cup butter 1 cup sugar 2 eggs ½ cup milk ½ cup hot riced potatoes [just pure potato, mashed, no milk or butter or pepper or salt or whatever, just pure mashed potato] 1 cup flour 2 tsp baking powder ½ tsp cinnamon ½ tsp clove ½ tsp nutmeg ½ cup grated chocolate ½ cup chopped nut meats [optional, never ever feel pressured to add nuts to your chocolate cake, our guy here didn’t!]

Just… put everything into the mixing bowl in that order, with lots of mixing in between each addition.

Into a greased and/or lined tin, and then into a moderate oven for 55 minutes (or until cooked).

Frosting

2 Tbs butter 1 cup sugar ¼ cup milk 1 square unsweetened chocolate ½ tsp vanilla [also optional, since again, not mentioned by our maker here!]

Boil, but be careful it doesn’t burn. …Basically? Stir constantly! (also, apparently the vanilla only gets added after the mix is taken off the heat…)

He did a long-form! He explained the steps!

The person who called me She-Man in middle school then came out as gay and said it must have been a compliment

But now that person is a feminine-presenting enby... so is it an insult all over again now?

whether or not I’m attractive now is another thing, but being socialized as ‘ugly’ and ‘undesirable’ in public school early on has really taken a toll on me

I can’t stand elon musk’s simp army like okay maybe they could idk pay for a concerted clean up effort with those billions of dollars they have? You can’t just destroy this planet to get to other ones lol. source

Physics, engineering and space travel aren’t even special interests of mine that I know much about and I STILL know at a casual glance that, logistically, there is absolutely nothing SpaceX can possibly do to justify its costs and sloppiness. Even if it could make good on Musk’s childish fantasies of colonizing mars, that would cost vastly more money and resources than it would have taken to just fix the biggest fixable problems with our own fucking planet.

Commies really do hate to see a man thriving.

Like bro it's a space program like the rest of them doing their amount usual of pollution.

Meanwhile here you are hitching that space programd arent worth the trouble because youd redistribute it something that would be gone in an afternoon.

Fucking luddites.

bogleech

Inheriting wealth then playing these kiddie games with it is not "thriving."

Other space programs control where their waste lands because they have the scientific resources and understanding to make the necessary calculations.

Using money to repair damaged infrastructure and ecosystems, healing poverty and creating sustainable immediate jobs in something real and viable us not "redistribution that would be gone in an afternoon" but would benefit people for generations to come.

SpaceX us not legitimate space exploration, it is one man child's cheap and hasty attempt to imitate space exploration. Actually establishing a real functional space program would still take so much more money than musk actually has to spend that what he's doing is to NASA as microwaveable dollar store fish sticks are to a hand made sushi dinner. He is literally duping you into supporting the cheap idiot version of something so huge, its cheap idiot version could cause irreversible environmental and economic destruction.

You fanboys are literally being the "luddites" here, believing a guy with zero scientific background is going to solve scientific problems that have eluded generations of experts.

the way studio ghibli romanticises being human...

the more outlandish the world, the more human its characters & the story’s thematic concerns are. like instead of feeling like you’ve “escaped” into a world where human affairs no longer matter or become trivial, you actually enter a world where human affairs are all that matter. fantasy & fiction as a vehicle to highlight humanity

there’s also an environmentalist theme underlying all of this, dare i say anti-capitalist – bc the human affairs are always situated squarely in a broader landscape, a broader human (& creaturely) context. there is no sense of that rugged individualism that governs fictional narratives in the west, the world reduced down to a single individual and their exploits. instead, there are simply people, & animals, & other beings that all exist in a web of relations rather than ordered hierarchically

@officialtalizorah !!!

Fuck you to parents who raise their kids to be convenient and low maintenance. I should be so happy right now, I got engaged I bought a house but I STILL DONT FUCKING KNOWNHOW TO DRIVE FUCK YOU FUCK YOU YOU FUCKING DID THE BARE MINIMUM

my-dark-happy-place

Fellow emos, this just shook me to my core

fullmetal-titan

the fact they use their ipod just makes this a cinematic masterpiece

thoradvice

romanticize your life. i cannot stress this enough. use scented shower gel and shampoo, so you look forward to showers. go on walks and see how pretty the sky looks. notice the wildflowers on the roadside as you drive. light a candle when you get home to make your room smell good. notice & appreciate the little things in life. it won't cure your mental illness, but it'll make it easier to exist in this world.

It’s comforting knowing that the fact I still don’t know how to drive is squarely my parent’s fault. Maybe don’t have kids if you’re gonna be too depressed to teach them how to drive.

Now I’m 23 and gonna have to spend over a thousand dollars to sit in a car with a strange man for several hours every week to learn something necessary to thrive in the country my parents decided to immigrate to and pop me out in.

Is Georgia going to pull it off AGAIN?? 😯🙏

Warnock just took the lead and Ossoff is now virtually tied!!

OSSOFF HAS ALSO TAKEN THE LEAD!!

Ossoff's lead just keeps growing!
