**After preparing the glutinous rice, I continued to prepare some needs for the sweet potato layer. Now I deliberately use bright orange sweet potatoes so that when combined with glutinous rice flowers, it is even more beautiful. Please note that orange sweet potatoes like this tend to be sweeter and softer than other sweet potatoes.**

I'm so happy that the harvest of telang flowers this time made a delicious cake that I tried for the first time. Well after cutting the cake I got about 12 pieces with a small size. But this was enough for me to enjoy with my mom at home.
The taste is savory and also the sweetness of sweet potatoes, there is a distinctive aroma of orange leaves and lemongrass. But for those who don't like these aromatic leaves, you can skip it, but I really like this combination.
