Water chestnuts and sliced almonds add a delightful crunch.

This is basic recipe, but feel free to test it out with your favorite spices and potatos and toppings for a custom version! I've added sweet potato to up the nutrition value and the tinest bit of delicious cheese. NOTE: The amount of potatos used are an average of what two people eat as a side dish. -- posted by TheMixingBowl

If you're a chiffon and angelfood person then stick with your old lame dry recipe. The secret is vanilla yogurt, and the added bonus is what that does to the nutritional profile of the cake. I don't like this cake specifically because it's "healthier" than others. It's just one of those cases where you never miss the fat! This recipe is a good start for all sorts of culinary creativity. Experiment with different mix-ins, different flavors of yogurt, and different formats. Chocolate chip cake? Blueberry muffins? Lemon-poppyseed muffins using lemon yogurt? Cinnamon-raisin-praline coffeecake? Just remember to keep the mix-ins as small as possible [mini chocolate chips, finely chopped nuts] so they don't sink in the batter. I'm telling you, it will be your go-to base for all sorts of baking! -- posted by [Entropy]
