Kronans Kaka (Swedish Almond Potato Cake)

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 350u00b0F (175u00b0C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round baking pan.

2. 2

   Cream together the butter and sugar. Mix in one egg at a time, stirring until you get a creamy consistency. Add the almonds and orange zest and stir until smooth.

3. 3

   If you're not using already-mashed potatoes, mash them now with a fork or ricer. Add to the batter and stir until well blended.

4. 4

   Pour the batter into the baking pan and bake for 40 to 50 minutes, until the top is golden brown. If the cake starts to get a golden brown color earlier (check it after 30 minutes), remove it from the oven, cover it with aluminum foil, and put back in the oven. This will prevent the top of the cake from burning.

5. 5

   Remove from oven and let cool, then cut into slices. The authors recommend pairing it with a dollop of whipped cream, creme fraiche, or rhubarb jam, all of which would be wonderful.
