PALM TODDY CAKE
FOR THOSE WHO DON'T KNOW WHAT TODDY IS :
Palm wine also called palm toddy also called "kallu", or simply toddy, is an alcoholic beverage created from the sap of various species of palm tree such as the palmyra, and coconut palms. This drink is common in various parts of Asia and Africa, and goes by various names, such as emu and oguro in Nigeria, nsamba in Democratic Republic of the Congo,nsafufuo in Ghana, kallu in South India, tuak in North Sumatra, Indonesia, mnazi in Mijikenda,Kenya goribon (Rungus) in Sabah, Borneo, and tuba in the Philippines, Borneo and Mexico. In the Philippines, tubâ refers both to the freshly harvested sweetish sap and the one with the red lauan-tree tan bark colorant. In Leyte, the red tuba is aged for up to one to two years such that an echoing ring is made when a glass container is tapped this type of tubâ is called bahalina. Toddy is also consumed in Sri Lanka and Myanmar. On the one hand, production of palm wine may have contributed to the endangered status of some palm species such as the Chilean wine palm (Jubaea chilensis). On the other hand, palm wine production by small holders and individual farmers may promote conservation as palm trees become a source of regular household income that may economically be worth more than the value of timber sold.
