A few reasons why potatoes were used in cakes: 1. They were very cheap and easy to get, especially for farmers etc. For many people back then, desserts were a luxury and very rare, but by mixing potatoes into a cake, it became bigger without having to spend significantly more on it 2. They do also have a lot of starch in them and since they were much easier to get than for example cornstarch, it was very convenient 3. They have a very neutral taste and a creamy consistency when mashed, so it was a perfect addition for a cake batter 4. Potatoes are really good for making the cake moist and soft So, all in all, they were mostly used because they were easy to get and very cheap and they actually brought a lot of other advantages with them, regarding the baking.

[@oscarcacnio8418]

I tell you what, it may be more economically sound to grow a bucket of potatoes for baking a cake than it is a patch of wheat.

You should try baking cookies where you do several different methods to see how they bake differently (like melted butter in one, creamed butter, corn starch added, etc...) there are so many methods to try! I just want a soft, chewy cookie but my husband likes crunchy edges, etc.....ok I’m done rambling!!! Love your channel!!

[@lilMissAdoria]

Just an aside, check out the jean parè cook book called cookies. I've never had a fail from her, and if your oven heats evenly, and you cook for the lower amount of time suggested, you can achieve crisp and chewy all in one. At least in the oatmeal chocolate chip one that is a fave in my house. 😊 No special instructions at all. Easy peasy.

[@SenMallika]

Sometimes I find it so amusing that North Americans put icing on all cakes! Some cakes are just better without any frosting :P Btw - the reason your butter wasn't blending in with your sugar is because it was way too cold. You need to have softened room temperature butter to effectively cream it with sugar. And wiping down the sides of your loaf tin (where you had so much batter stuck) will help prevent scraggly bits around your cake. Having unclean edges can also sometimes "block" the rise of your cake and make it rise in a lopsided/ uneven manner. Most importantly, those untidy bits burn easily and make your entire oven smell smoky and burnt, often ruining the flavour of your cake! So definitely clean the sides and edges of your loaf tin/ any baking pan before popping it in the oven!
