INSTRUCTIONS
THE CAKE: Cook Potatoes in lightly salted boiling water until tender.
(about 20- minutes) Drain And mash the potatoes. Measure 1 cup of them
out and cool to room temperature. Cream the sugar and butter until
light and fluffy. Beat in egg yolks and add the cup of potato, mixing
well. Stir together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder and spices.
Add to the potato mixture alternately with milk. Mix well after each
addition. Fold in the egg whites, nuts and cherries. Turn into a
greased floured 10" tube pan. Bake at 350 degrees 1 to 1 1/4 hours or
till done. Do not invert. Cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Remove and
cool on a rack. To decorate, place flat side up on a platter and pour
Powdered Sugar Icing over the top, allowing it to drizzle down over
the sides. Garnish with coconut and cherries if desired. FOR THE
ICING: Combine the sifted powdered sugar, vanilla, salt and enough
milk to make a good drizzling consistency. From Gemini's MASSIVE
