Believe it or not, I am taking the biggest risk of posting this Root Vegetabke Cake for Lasang Pinoy's themef or this month. Tare-Gabe_UBe , im not sure if it is in the Bahay Kubo song.The cake is very simple to make and I tried to really make it very Pinoy. Instead ofusing oridnary rice flour and taro flour ,I used half of it and half bisquick from the box, that is why the rice cake is yellowish. Taro is my favorite root vegetable aside from the color it exudes, I think this can be a good treat for everyone especially for kids who does not like vegetables that much. A dilemma I must saybut I think bloggers are contributing so much to those who have no interest in cooking. Thank you to Ms. Wifely Steps for a wonderful idea of hosting this theme.I had several attempts of joining Lasang Pinoy way back in 2005, as introduced to me by my cuz-Ces. Nowis the perfect time to share a perfect ender after eating all those LP18 savory posts.
I hope you guys like it!

Hi KC! Welcome back! It's good to see you're back and blogging again! True, parang ang sarap nga kainin nyang veggie cake na yan :-)
wow, this is interesting! and definitely something even i can do. my daughter loves ube cake (purple cake, as she calls it) so this shouldn't be too far off her taste meter. i can get taro from any asian store, right?
ps. i'm a fan of kat cora, too :)
That's amazing! Imagine a cake with vegetable ingredient. Every mom would love this because I'm sure it's something children could easily love. I like the the touch of crumbly violet taro icing.
i really like mcdonald's' taro pie. i'm sure this is a great desert too! *drool* adik pa naman ako sa ube. :P
this should be right up there with zucchini cake! thanks for sharing!
