Serves: 20 Print this RecipeRosalie Giuffre - Milwaukee, Wisconsin Bake-Off@ Contest 13, 1961 When convenience products were still new, a quick tip in the original 1961 recipe was to use reconstituted mashed potato flakes for the cooked fresh potato. Now they are included in the recipe, where they help keep this chocolate-glazed tube cake moist and delicious. CAKE 4 ounces sweet cooking chocolate 1 cup mashed instant potato flakes 1 cup boiling water 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour 1 1/4 cups sugar 1 1/4 teaspoons baking soda 1 teaspoon salt 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 1/2 cup margarine, softened, or shortening 1/2 cup dairy sour cream 3 eggs 1/2 cup chopped pecans, if desired GLAZE 2 ounces sweet cooking chocolate 1 tablespoon water 1 tablespoon margarine or butter 1/2 cup powdered sugar 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract Dash salt Heat oven to 350°F. Generously grease 12-cup Bundt or 10-inch tube pan. Break 4 oz. chocolate into pieces; place in large bowl. Add potato flakes; pour boiling water over flakes and chocolate. Let stand 5 minutes or until potato flakes are softened and chocolate is melted; stir to combine. Add flour and remaining cake ingredients except pecans. Blend at low speed until moistened; beat 3 minutes at medium speed. Stir in pecans. Pour batter into greased pan. Bake at 350°F. for 45 to 60 minutes or until toothpick inserted near center comes out clean. Cool upright in pan 30 minutes; invert onto serving plate. Cool completely. In small saucepan over low heat, melt 2 oz. chocolate with water and margarine. Remove from heat; add powdered sugar, 1/4 teaspoon vanilla and dash salt, beating until smooth. Stir in additional water, a few drops at a time, if needed for desired glaze consistency. Immediately spoon glaze over cooled cake, allowing some to run down sides. HIGH ALTITUDE - Above 3,500 feet: Decrease sugar to 1 cup. Bake as directed above.
