The 1912 written original is at the end of the video.

---CAKE---
1/2 cup salted butter
1 cup sugar
2 eggs
1/2 cup whole milk
1/2 cup riced/mashed russet potato
1 cup flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon each of: cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg
1/2 cup GRATED semi-sweet chocolate (2oz, or half a baking-chocolate bar)
1/2 cup chopped nuts (I recommend walnuts)
--- FROSTING ---
2 tablespoons salted butter
1 cup sugar
1/4 cup whole milk
2 oz semi sweet chocolate
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

- Instructions | CAKE:
1.) Set diced potato to a boil until tender. I do not peel the potato.
2.) Cream together butter & sugar until fluffy and pale.
3.) Slowly incorporate the eggs, which have been beaten.
4.) Rice or mash potato in a separate bowl, then stir and cool with milk.
5.) Incorporate the potato & milk, mixing well.
6.) Combine flour, leavening & spices in a separate bowl.
7.) Gently incorporate the flour mixture, grated chocolate & nuts.
8.) Add batter to a buttered and floured 8x8 inch cake tin.
9.) Bake at 350 fahrenheit for 45-55 minutes.
* Check at 40 minutes with a toothpick.
* When inserted into centre then pulls away clean - the cake is done.

- Instructions | FROSTING:
1.) Add all ingredients; save for vanilla, to a saucepan.
2.) Set to a LOW boil for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally at first. Remove from heat.
3.) Add vanilla, and beat to desired consistency.
4.) Apply frosting to the cooled cake.
* Beating more will lead to a spreadable frosting - less so will lead to a thick, pourable glaze which will set wonderfully once cool.
* Briefly chilling the boiled frosting will help to thicken, just stir before application.
