    4. To prepare filling: In a chilled bowl with a hand mixer, whip cream till it forms soft peaks. In a separate bowl, combine sugar, powdered lowfat milk and hot mashed taro till blended. Add in butter and combine. Wait till mix has cooled to room temperature, then mix in whipped cream.
    5. Slice cake in half horizontally. Spread filling on bottom layer with spatula.
    6. Add in top layer of cake.
    7. Note: Peel taro root, cut into 1/3 inch thick slices and steam till soft, about 30 min. When root is cooked, mash it with a fork or possibly ricer.
