Ingredients
- 400 grams taro root (peeled and diced)
- 150 grams rice flour
- 200 milliliters low-fat coconut milk
- 100 grams light brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 50 milliliters water
- 0 oil spray (light, for greasing)
Directions
Step 1
Peel and dice the taro root into small chunks. Steam the taro over medium heat for 20 minutes, or until soft and tender. Mash the taro into a smooth paste and set aside to cool slightly.
Step 2
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease an 8-inch square baking dish with oil spray.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed taro, rice flour, baking powder, and light brown sugar.
Step 4
Slowly add the low-fat coconut milk, water, and vanilla extract to the bowl. Mix well until the batter is smooth and free of lumps.
Step 5
Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish. Tap the dish lightly on the countertop to release any air bubbles.
Step 6
Bake in the preheated oven for 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Step 7
Remove the taro cake from the oven and allow it to cool completely in the dish before slicing.
Step 8
Cut into squares and serve. Enjoy your light and delicious low-fat taro cake!
