👨‍🍳 作り方

1
Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease and flour a 20cm (8-inch) round cake pan.
2
In a large bowl, combine the grated taro, coconut milk, sugar, melted butter, vanilla extract, rice flour, and salt. Mix well until a smooth batter forms.
💡 プロのコツ: Ensure the taro is grated finely for a smoother cake texture.
3
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and spread evenly.
4
Bake for 40-50 minutes, or until a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
💡 プロのコツ: The cake should be golden brown on top and firm to the touch.
5
Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
6
Serve the cake as is, or top with diced papaya and passion fruit pulp for a tropical finish.
💡 プロのコツ: This cake is delicious served with a dollop of whipped cream or coconut cream.

✓For a richer flavor, use good quality coconut milk.
✓If you don't have rice flour, glutinous rice flour can also be used, but it may result in a chewier texture.
