Chocolate muffin with mashed potatoes, walnuts and cinnamon

One of my favorite cupcakes - moderately moist, fragrant, with pieces of nuts, a bright chocolate flavor and hints of cinnamon and vanilla. The cake dough is kneaded on the basis of mashed potatoes, sour cream and vegetable oil, in addition to flour, semolina is also added, and cocoa powder provides a rich chocolate color. Mashed potatoes in the taste of the cupcake are not guessed in any way - it rather serves for texture.
