KUE KACAMATA

I am so hilarious when I saw cassavas in the freezer of an Asian store that I used to go. Then I decided to buy the grated and whole cassavas.

Hmmm...what I want to make with those cassavas? Ahhhhhh.....I know, it's been long time I want to make fermented cassava, that's the whole cassava for. And the grated cassava......I'll make Glasses Cake. GLASSES CAKE??? What was that???It is a translation from Kue Kacamata in Bahasa. Its a weird name, but have a good taste :). It made from cassava and coconut with banana wrapped in it. This cake is an Indonesian local cake which is you can find easily there.

It is good to eat it at your coffee/tea break :)

As usual, I changed a bit the ingredients by substituted the coloring foods to cocoa powder which is I think healthier than using coloring foods (that's my opinion :)).

So.......let's make Kue Kacamata :)
