For an even richer flavor, try using dark chocolate instead of unsweetened chocolate. Be sure to cool the melted chocolate slightly before adding it to the batter to prevent the eggs from cooking. The mashed potatoes should be smooth and free of lumps for the best texture. To enhance the flavor, consider adding a chocolate buttercream frosting after the cake has cooled.
