Bolu Tape / Tape Cake





Since this cake is our family favorite dessert, I made this cake for us to enjoy today. Tape is made from fermented Cassava or Yuca (When I lived in Pennsylvania, they know it as Yuca). Probably, Tape only can find in Indonesia. It is a sweet or sour alcoholic and can be used directly as a food or in traditional recipes.
The texture is soft and moist. Tape also has a special smell come from the yeasts that call "Ragi".
When you make Tape into cake, it's come delicious. That's why lot of people like it.
Since this is Indonesian traditional cake, we use a lot of eggs, typical Indonesian when they make a cake. Don't count your calorie when you enjoy this cake, don't worry about that!
Bolu Tape is just delicious !
