Betty Erlich's Gluten-Free Potato Cake is a unique and delicious dessert that is perfect for any occasion. The cake is made with cooked potatoes, caster sugar, eggs, and ground almonds, giving it a light, moist texture and a rich flavor that is just sweet enough. The lemon zest adds a lovely touch of citrus to the cake, making it perfect for summertime picnics or backyard BBQs. Whether you're gluten intolerant or just looking for a healthier alternative to traditional wheat flour cakes, Betty Erlich's Potato Cake is the perfect choice.

Instructions

1.	Preheat the oven to 355°F (180°C) and grease a 8-inch (20cm) cake tin.
2.	In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked potatoes, egg yolks, caster sugar, ground almonds, and lemon zest, then whisk together until a smooth paste is formed.
3.	In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form.
4.	Gradually fold the egg whites into the potato mixture, mixing gently until well combined.
5.	Pour the mixture into the greased cake tin and bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
6.	Once the cake is baked, allow it to cool in the tin for 10 minutes before removing it to a wire rack to cool completely. Serve and enjoy!
