1
To rice potatoes: place potatoes in a saucepan with water to cover. Bring to a boil, and cook for 20 minutes, or until tender. Drain potatoes, and cool slightly. Hold the ricer over a bowl and force the potatoes through the sieve until completely processed. You will need 1 cup riced potatoes for the recipe.
2
Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
3
Sift together flour, baking powder, cloves and cinnamon; set aside.
4
Beat butter and sugar with an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Add yolks, one at a time, beating well with each addition. Add 1 cup riced/mashed potatoes, heavy cream, ground almonds, grated chocolate, and lemon zest and mix well.
5
Blend in flour mixture and mix until combined. Beat egg whites with an electric mixer until medium-stiff peaks form.
6
Fold 1/3 of the egg whites into batter to lighten it, then fold in remaining egg whites until no streaks remain.
7
Pour batter into a 9-inch springform pan. Bake in preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center of cake comes out clean, about 1 1/2 hours. Let cool, then frost with chocolate frosting.
