"Breadfruit is used as a vegetable when mature but not ripe. Ripe breadfruit is also used for dessert dishes like this one. Like potatoes and bananas, the breadfruit is rich in starch, only some of which is converted into sugars upon ripening. Nutritionally, breadfruit is an excellent staple, rich in proteins, with a range of amino acids."

This cake is one of my favourites to make and always comes out perfect as long as I follow the directions, and everyone I have made it for loves the taste although can't guess what it is at first. Also I am able to use the over ripe breadfruit which otherwise would have been discarded.
