Cake for any Occasion

Two little secrets make this cake taste extra yummy.. the instant potato flakes and the chocolate chips. The mini chocolate chips give just enough chocolate bursts with every bite and the potato flakes keep the cake moist. This recipe is fabulous for any occasion and one we will be using in just a week for Greg's birthday. Enjoy...

Ingredients:
1 cup water
1 cup instant mashed potato flakes
2 2/3 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
3/4 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
2 2/3 cups granulated sugar
1 cup (2 sticks) butter or margarine, softened
4 large eggs
3/4 cup milk
2 cups (12-oz. pkg.) Semi-Sweet Chocolate Mini Morsels

Directions:
Preheat oven to 350° F. Grease 13 x 9-inch baking pan; line with wax paper.

Heat water to boiling in small saucepan; remove from heat. Stir in potato flakes until moistened. Cool to room temperature. Combine flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon and nutmeg in medium bowl.

Beat sugar and butter until crumbly. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition; beat in potatoes. Gradually beat in flour mixture alternately with milk. Stir in morsels. Spoon into prepared baking pan.

Bake for 45 to 55 minutes or until wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool in pan for 15 minutes. Invert onto wire rack; remove wax paper. Cool completely. Transfer to serving platter.

Frost sides and top of cake with frosting of choice.
