1. Preheat oven to 180°C (160°C fan-forced). Lightly grease a 23cm round springform cake tin and line base with baking paper.
2. Combine flour, cocoa, bicarb and salt together in a large mixing bowl, stirring to combine.
3. Using an electric stand mixer with the paddle attachment, beat together butter and sugars until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Add vanilla and melted chocolate, beating gently until combined. Add mashed potato, beating gently to combine.
4. Reduce speed to low. Add half each of the flour mixture and sour cream, beating until just combined. Repeat process until all the flour mixture and sour cream are combined.

6. For the ganache, heat cream to just below boiling point. Place chocolate in a bowl and pour over hot cream, stirring occasionally until chocolate has melted.
