Boozy bojo aka yucca coconut cake

this is my take on bojo, a type of cake, which is made from grated coconut flesh, grated yucca and eggs, sugar and vanilla extract.
as you can see, i used a hammer to break the coconut open and take out the fleshy meat, which i then grated in the blender.
as i had alreay made a mixture of storebought, pre grated coconut and cassava, i only had to mix everything together.
add some eggs, cream and cinnamon and you're done. except for me.
i had my eyes on the prunes and raisins, which have been soaking in alcohol for more than a year.
whenever i use a bit for baking, i add some fresh fruit and then also add extra alcohol. leftover wine, rum, and burnt sugar
this is what it looked like when it hit the oven, and then what it looks like once it's almost done.
i prefer to let it "burn" a bit, which improves on the taste..
and you know what. it was superb. and oh yes. you get drunk when eating too much. very boozy bojo..
