This simple treat is inspired by a popular cake made in Honduras. Fresh ginger gives it a subtle heat and grated yuca is the secret ingredient that adds a chewy texture. Inspired by Whole Planet Foundation® microcredit client recipes.

Method
Preheat the oven to 350°F.
Line an 8x8-inch baking pan with a long sheet of parchment paper, allowing for 2-inch overhang on each side.
In a large bowl, whisk together flour and baking powder.
In a separate bowl, stir together sugar, oil, yuca and ginger.
Stir sugar mixture into flour mixture until blended. Spread batter into the prepared pan.
Bake until golden and a toothpick inserted in center of cake comes out clean, about 45 minutes. Let cool completely. Remove cake from pan and cut into squares.
