Ingredients

Scale

Cake Ingredients

  • 3 cups grated cassava
  • 1 can (400 ml) coconut milk
  • 1 can (354 ml) evaporated milk
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup melted butter
  • 1/2 cup coconut strings (optional)
  • 3/4 cup sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Toppings

  • 1/2 cup condensed milk
  • 1 egg yolk

Instructions

  1. Prepare the baking dish: Grease a baking dish thoroughly with butter to prevent the cassava cake from sticking, then set it aside for later use.
  2. Mix cake ingredients: In a large bowl, combine grated cassava, coconut milk, evaporated milk, eggs, melted butter, coconut strings, sweetened condensed milk, and vanilla extract. Mix thoroughly until the mixture is uniform.
  3. Bake the cake: Pour the cassava mixture into the greased baking dish. Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 45 minutes to 1 hour, or until the cake is firm and slightly golden.
  4. Prepare the topping: While the cake bakes, in a separate bowl, blend together the condensed milk and egg yolk until smooth and well combined.
  5. Add topping and finish baking: After the initial baking time, remove the cassava cake from the oven and pour the prepared custard topping evenly over its surface. Return to the oven and bake for an additional 5-8 minutes or until the topping is set and turns golden brown.
  6. Cool and refrigerate: Allow the cassava cake to cool completely at room temperature, then refrigerate it to enhance texture and flavor before serving. Enjoy chilled or at room temperature.

Notes

  • Use freshly grated cassava or frozen grated cassava for best results.
  • Adjust sugar level by increasing or decreasing the sweetened condensed milk based on your preference.
  • The coconut strings are optional but add texture and enhance the coconut flavor.
  • Ensure the topping custard is fully set before removing from the oven to achieve the classic golden finish.
  • Refrigerate leftovers to maintain freshness and serve cold for a refreshing taste.
