HOW TO MAKE IT

Let's cook.

01

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.

02

In a large bowl, combine the grated cassava, condensed milk, coconut milk, granulated sugar, melted butter, eggs, and salt. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well combined and the batter is smooth.

03

Pour the cassava mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish.

04

Bake for 45 minutes at 350°F (175°C), or until the edges are set and the top is lightly golden.

05

For the topping, if desired, combine 1/2 cup coconut milk with 2 tablespoons condensed milk and drizzle over the cake. Return to the oven and bake for an additional 15 minutes at 350°F (175°C), or until the topping is caramelized and golden brown.

06

Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool completely on a wire rack before slicing and serving. This allows the cake to set properly and become firm.

Chef's Tips

For an extra rich flavor, toast some shredded coconut and sprinkle it on top of the cake after baking. Ensure the cassava is well-drained if using fresh, as excess moisture can affect the cake's texture.
↔

Easy Substitutions

You can substitute evaporated milk for coconut milk in the topping for a slightly less rich flavor. If fresh cassava is unavailable, frozen grated cassava works perfectly.
▱

Storage & Reheating

Store leftover cassava cake in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. It can be enjoyed cold or gently reheated.
