Puna Yam Cake

Description

From the The Groundnut Cookbook "Growing up all I knew were boiled yam discs, but this recipe transforms the tuber into an exceptional cake. Considering there's no flour it has a beautiful crumb texture. And it's subtly sweet from the little sugar combined with condensed milk, which in turn helps keep the cake surprisingly moist.

For this recipe to work well you'll need a mature puns yam tuber. They wither with age as the skin and flesh inside dehydrate in tandem."
