Sweet Potato Mud Cake (Lumpur Kentang) - Ramadan Day 16

Hi Friends!

I have not update my 30 Days of Indonesia through traditional sweets during this Ramadan, the holy fasting month, as I have been break fasting with chocolates! Yikes! hahaha All those steps for Actifit and Hive account@cheese4ead to fill up his quota, are not helping me to lose weight but water weight ONLY :P But of course, in my defense, my lady month is coming! I am all acne and chocolate cravings hahahah

But yesterday and tonight, I had and will have these cakeletttes that in Indonesia we call them as mud cake, but they are totally different to Australian mud cake. Our mud cakes are cooked on special mold, stove top. Normally with potatoes, topped with either raisins or young coconut meat. They are known as Kue Lumpur, which literally translates as MUD cake.

Now, I mentioned that it's made on stove top using specific mold, right? Well, today they have electric mold for it. But sadly, either the traditional mold or the modern electric mold, none of them are available in Canada and when I tried getting online, either no shipping to Canada, or shipping are 3 times of the price, YIKES!!!

So, all these times, I always make my kue lumpur baked in oven :P

Now, here is the problem. Oven baked worked, when using eggs. But since am living with eggless, meatless, dairy free, no honey, a.k.a vegan, I had never tried making it without eggs. Needless to say, I have not eaten these cakelettes for more than 10 years lol

Yesterday, I was cleaning my pantry and saw this. Instant mashed SWEET potato.

Soooo...adding this and that, I did it! I made vegan mud cake! The looks are not there, not as pretty the regular mud cake, BUT the texture and the flavor, oh my gawd lol

PERFECT

Love them :D

• 80 g instant sweet mash potato powder (or regular white potato)
• 3/4 c hot boiling water
• 1 can coconut milk, 400 ml
• 1/3 c sugar
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1/2 c flour
• 2 tbsp vegan margarine, melt
• raisins for topping
• vegetable spray (optional)

How To

• I had to heat my coconut milk just so it would be liquid, mine was too thick and all the goodies clumped up to the surface of the can. while heating, I add in sugar and extract, not boiling hot, not even simmering, just enough that the coconut milk melted and sugar dissolved
• Mix mashed potato powder with hot boiling water
• Stir flour into coconut milk, followed with melted margarine, and mashed sweet potato, whisk to combine well
• Preheat oven to 350 F
• Spray non stick muffin pan with vegetable spray
• Pour batter into each cavities, top with raisins, bake for 35 minutes
• Let cool completely in pan before removing so cakes firmed up

See you tomorrow again :D
