This is a traditional Irish rich fruit potato cake that makes an excellent tea-time standby.
Ingredients:
140g butter
400g caster sugar
2 eggs
180ml milk
250g plain flour
2 tsp baking powder
generous pinch of salt
1 tsp ground
cinnamon
1 tsp ground
cloves
1 tsp ground
nutmeg
420g potatoes, cooked and mashed
120g walnuts, chopped
170g raisins
Method:
Sift together the flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, cloves and nutmeg in a bowl. Meanwhile, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy then beat in the eggs one at a time and mix until well incorporated.
Alternately add the flour mixture and potatoes to the butter mix. Mix to combine thoroughly then add the nuts and raisins. Pour the resultant batter into a 25cm ring mould (Bundt pan) and place in an oven pre-heated to 160°C (320°F/Gas Mark 3) and bake for about 100 minutes, or until the cake is nicely browned and a skewer inserted into the centre of the cake emerges cleanly.
Allow to cool in the tin for 1 hour before turning onto a wire rack and allowing to cool completely.
