Irish Potato Cake



This potato cake recipe is generations old - just how many, no-one knows for sure. The cake goes well served with fruit.

Ingredients:
2/3 cup shortening
2 cups white sugar
Two eggs
3/4 cup milk
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/8 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
2 teaspoons ground cloves
2 teaspoons ground nutmeg
2 cups mashed cooked potatoes
1 cup chopped walnuts
1 cup raisins

Directions:
Preheat oven to 325-degrees (165 degrees C). Grease and flour a 10-inch Bundt pan. Sift together the flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, cloves and nutmeg. Set aside.

In a large bowl, cream together the shortening and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time. Add the flour mixture alternately with the potatoes and milk. Stir in nuts and raisins. Pour into a 10-inch Bundt pan. Bake in the preheated oven for 90 to 120 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the cake comes out clean.

Recipe makes one, 10-inch tube or Bundt pan.
