Kumara Cakes

This is a quick and easy recipe that tastes as good as it sounds! I had a tricky time trying to figure out what to add to mixture to bind the cakes. So instead of using egg, I just left it out and they worked out fine! If you have chic pea flour or any type of flour, that will help to make them bind better. Use you imagination and add whatever you like to the cakes, I just used what I had as usual :)
