Yema Cake: Manang K's Version

Uncut yema cake. Top frosting is quite runny, just like how photos on the internet looked like.

While on the Harcombe Diet, I attempted making yema cake as a birthday gift to my friend, and I never experienced craving for the sugar. I was quite resistant! Haha! but I did cheat later during the party to get a good taste of my creation. I guess the amount I took (about 1 tbsp) was not enough to judge it, so I am taking my friends' words for it. They said it was good.

There is this diet that was ever the first specific diet that I ever considered trying. I used to say "I'm on a diet," where basically I meant I limited my food intake to create a negative balance of energy, so that my body would use the fat reserves for energy. The disadvantage of that dieting mode was I would often end up with vitamin/mineral deficiencies, that I would actually manifest symptoms (like weakened gums).

The Harcombe diet is the first diet I tried because most of the author's convictions were in congruence with mine: we both do not see saturated fats as bad for health (I blogged before defending the coconut from attacks by others, saying it is saturated fat and is therefore bad); we like combination of fat and meat; we like cooking from scratch and serving real foods; we don't like counting calories; we would like to be able to consume meat as much as we can (more so than sugar).
