Indonesia Yam Cake

I have some yam that have been lying in my fridge for quite a while, which I would love to make into yam paste dessert (more popularly known as "Or Nee"). That has always been one of my favourite desserts. However, my family is not very fond of the dessert and discourages me against it. Well, no choice, I have to source for other recipes before the poor yam ends up rotting. Haha...

I stumble across this Indonesia Yam Cake recipe in a book which features many interesting kuehs. The finished product appears shorter in height than I have expected. I cut into around 12 bite-sized pieces and chilled them before serving. It was refreshingly addictive and before long, the kueh was all gone, which is something that any chef or baker is pleased to see. :)
