A popular cake of the Soviet past - Potato, remains loved by many to this day. This is an impeccably delicious homemade delicacy that cannot be compared with the factory one. Of course, the preparation takes some time, but the result is worth it. Therefore, if you are interested in recipes for delicious homemade desserts, then I suggest this recipe.
The classic Potato cake requires a sponge cake. You can bake it yourself or buy it in stores. But experienced housewives have simplified this work to a minimum and use any baked goods that are available at home or in the store. Biscuits, waffles, buns, etc. will do just as well. This will greatly simplify and speed up your work.
This delicacy is traditionally made in the form of a potato with a long oblong shape. But today I propose to make it into hearts. These sweet Valentine cards are a great way to express your love to your husband, lover, friends and colleagues. I am sure that compliments will be provided. For this, in addition to the necessary ingredients, you need to have a special shape in the form of hearts. If there is none, then you can form them yourself. This process will take longer, but it will be worth it.
