This traditional Columbian dessert is a flourless cake with a unique squishy texture. The experimentation with this regional dessert was triggered by the interest in its savory ingredients, but sweet outcome and how maple could aid in the final product. The maple sugar in this recipe highlights the delicious taste of the coconut and the star anise. Maple also helps to mask the queso and yuca's savory flavor, while letting its texture shine once the cake is baked.
