Vietnamese Desserts: Banh Cam - orange cake

Banh Cam - Orange Cake
If I had to pick a favourite, this would have to be close to being it!  There are several versions of banh cam as well, this one is round and flat and covered in a sugar glaze.  The other version is round, like well, like an organge, but it doesn't have the glaze.  The filling is another ubiquitous ingredient; soya been paste - the other common one seems to be coconut milk.



Other Vietnamese desserts:

Banh Chuoi - banana cake

Coloured rice cakes

Xoi - sticky rice dessert

    These remind me of Vietnam and being around my grandma's house where kids would come around to the front of the house and sell these to us. I love how the sticky toffee gets stuck to your teeth when you eat it :)

    This is another kind of banh cam (or banh ran in the north). Love all of them!
