(Grain-free!) Blackberry-Lemon Cake
Seeing as we’re coming into the season of leftovers – not just turkey, but mashed potatoes – I thought I had better share this cake already. Had you ever considered transforming your cold mashed potatoes into a cake? If not, next time you make mashed potatoes, it’s worth making extra – if not for those waffles, for a grain-free cake. I kid you not.
Going grain free is kind of the thing right now, but that wasn’t my intention – I came across this on BBC Good Food while looking for a gluten-free birthday cake for a friend this summer, and made it out of sheer curiosity – how does mashed potatoes + ground almonds = cake? But it does – a dense, moist, lemony cake that totally works. And now that it’s not summer anymore, I want to give it a go with fresh cranberries in place of the blackberries.
Look! Totally a cake. No grains.
Not that there’s anything wrong with grains, of course.. but it’s interesting that it works. Kindly ignore the peaches that were in season when I took this. It seems ridiculous to look at a pile of ripe peach slices with an inch of frost on the window behind my head. (Related: 100 year old houses are drafty.)
And perhaps it’s a welcome reprieve from the seasonal onslaught of pumpkin cakes and gingerbread – not that there’s anything wrong with those, either – I just baked a batch of dark fruitcakes myself today. But lemon is totally wintry, although their sunniness comes across as springy and lemonade stands have gone and made them seem summery, when really citrus is at its best in the winter.
As are cranberries. Just sayin’.
(Grain-free!) Blackberry (or Cranberry) Lemon Cake
AuthorJuliePreheat the oven to 350F. Butter a 9-inch round cake pan, and line the bottom with a circle of parchment.
In a large bowl, beat the butter and sugar until light and fluffy, then beat in the eggs one at a time, beating after each addition. Fold in the almonds, cold mashed potato, lemon zest and baking powder. Gently stir in the berries.
Spread into the pan, smoothing the top, then bake for 40-45 mins or until golden and springy to the touch.
Ingredients
Mashed potatoes! Really? That’s so cool. Even though you know I *heart* gluten, I would totally make this because it looks yummy. Also – mashed potatoes? MIND BLOWN.
Would it be possible to substitute sweet potatoes?
I trust you, if you say mashed potatoes, then it’s got to be good.
I may try this just for the fun of it!
I’m guessing you wouldn’t be putting any garlic or onions in with your spuds…
This is just crazy enough that I’m going to have to try it.
Any suggestions for a lactose-free substitute for the butter? Maybe applesauce + canola oil? Soy yogurt?
Fun!

I will definitely give this cake a go!!!!!xo
Agata – I don’t know, honestly. Mashed sweet potatoes tend to be less starchy, so I’m not convinced it would work. If you try it, let us know!
Joanne – no, definitely no garlicky spuds here! Heidi – I doubt applesauce and oil would work in place of the butter.. both are liquid, so you wouldn’t be able to beat them like you would the butter. I’m thinking this recipe is such a fine balance that such a major swap (it calls for 3/4 cup) would throw it off and it wouldn’t work..
Will try for my daughter’s friend who can’t eat grains. Looks smashing!
Made this today and it came out great. The kids loved it, so this is a keeper.
These look amazing and delcious! This will be my next kitchen adventure for sure!
This cake is in the oven (looking promising), but the house is filled with smoke, as it ran over onto the oven floor. I should have known the pan looked too full. Should it have been in 2 pans?
Alice, next time put cake pan on a rimmed baking sheet so any overflows are contained…saves cleaning the oven.
I don’t think the title of your article matches the content lol. Just kidding, mainly because I had some doubts after reading the article.
With thanks. Loads of conception!
