Ingredients

1 tablespoon of cocoa powder
2 teaspoons of baking powder
1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
2 cups of all-purpose flour
1 large potato mashed
½ cup of soft margarine
1 cup of potato milk
1 cup of sweetener
½ teaspoon of salt
2 eggs

Instructions

To start, preheat your oven to 350°F.
Grease a round, 9-inch baking pan, then dust with flour.
Put baking powder, salt, flour, sweetener, eggs, margarine, vanilla extract, potato milk, and mashed potatoes in a mixing bowl.
Slowly moisten the mixture by beating it.
Using an electric mixer, mix at medium speed for about 2 minutes or until smooth.
Pour the batter out into the baking pan, making sure to keep ¾ cup in the mixing bowl.
Add the cocoa powder to the ¾ cup of remaining batter and mix well.
You should now have two different batters; one white and one brown.
Use a spoon to scoop balls of the brown batter on top of the white batter.
With a knife or fork, gently swirl the two batters around to create the marble effect.
Bake between 30 and 35 minutes at 350°F or until a toothpick removes clean.

Notes & Tips

You will need to set aside time to make mashed potatoes if you don’t have already prepared. So plan accordingly if you wish to serve Potato Milk Chocolate Marble Cake on short notice. As you can see, this recipe assumes you already have them ready to use.

If you don’t have time to make fresh mashed potatoes from scratch, you can use instant mashed potatoes in a pinch. However, we highly recommend that you stick with the real deal if at all possible.

Also, make sure you don’t use any additional ingredients when making mashed potatoes. That means no butter or salt — nothing but potatoes.

Substitutions

If you don’t wish to use potato milk for any reason, you may substitute it with any plant-based milk instead. Alternatives include almond milk, oat milk, coconut milk, and soy milk. You also don’t have to use vanilla when adding an extract. We prefer vanilla, but it’s entirely up to you which extract you use.

There are many extract flavors to choose from, such as hazelnut extract, almond extract, or any other flavor you like. Or, if you prefer a simpler taste that makes the potato milk flavor stand out more, you can omit adding extract entirely.

However, your cake will taste bland if you decide to go this route. You can make up for this by substituting the potato milk for something like almond milk to give the marble cake more flavor.

Moreover, you can add in some extra sweetness by using your favorite sweetener. You may use sugar, agave nectar, honey, or maple syrup, for example.

If you don’t have potato milk, why not make your own? Check out the Common Questions section below to find out how. It’s a pretty easy recipe and only takes about 30 minutes to make.

Common Questions

What is potato milk?

Potato milk serves as a substitute for dairy-based milk. Being a plant-based milk, potato milk is derived from cooked mashed potatoes and mixed using the cooking water. Additional ingredients are added to give potato milk its sweet taste.

How do I make my own potato milk?

We previously shared a delicious creamy Potato Milk recipe that covered all the necessary steps to make potato milk. Check out the link to see how easy it is to create your own. Moreover, you can use potato milk in a variety of recipes and in place of cow’s milk.

What potatoes are used to make potato milk?

If you’re making your own potato milk to use in Potato Milk Chia Pudding, you can use almost any kind of potato, including sweet potatoes. The only types that should be avoided are potatoes that are too waxy, such as baby potatoes, Red Bliss, and New Potatoes.

Another problem with these types is that their shape is too well maintained. The only exception is certain fingerling potatoes with red skin but low moisture content.

You are looking for starchy but nutritious things that can be cooked into a creamy texture. White potatoes are usually the easiest to locate. Plus, they have really good nutritional value, as do russets.
