Preheat the over to 350°. Butter an 8” round cake pan.

Cream together the sugar and butter until fluffy, then beat in eggs one at a time. Add almond meal, mashed potato, lemon zest and baking powder. Pour into the pan and bake for 30-45 mins or until cake tester comes out clean. Cool in the pan for 10-15 mins, then finish cooling on rack.
