Fermented Cassava Cake

Once upon a super duper hot and sunny day, I was waiting for my little boy at school. It was a boring day, you know....nothing to do, just have a light chat with some mommies whose also waiting for their kids.

Just then I heard a seller offering his stuffs. Its fermented cassava. Oh thanks God! I have been waiting for this particular seller for some times, but never got the chance to stop or get them around my house. I don't know why I'm always late. Why bother to wait for this seller? Nothing special, I just missed fermented cassava, that is. There are so many recipes with fermented cassava that I'm planning to try.

This time, I'm making cake with fermented cassava. The recipe was taken from one of my most favorite foodblogger : Mba Vania Samperuru of  Adventurelicious.
