Equipment
  • 1 medium to large-sized bowl
  • 1 deep bowl
  • 2 baking dishes
Ingredients
  
  • 2 cups grated cassava preferably fresh cassava root, but you can use frozen if fresh is unavailable
  • 1 cup coconut milk canned coconut milk works well
  • 1/2 cup evaporated milk
  • 1/2 cup condensed milk
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup melted butter or softened butter if you prefer
  • 1/2 cup grated cheese optional
Instructions
 
  • First, grate the fresh cassava root using a cheese grater or a food processor, then place the grated cassava in a medium to large-sized bowl.
    If using frozen grated cassava, make sure to thaw it before starting.
  • Next, combine the grated cassava with coconut, evaporated, condensed, and eggs in a deep bowl.
    Mix well until the ingredients are thoroughly combined.
    Gradually add the melted butter into the cassava mixture and continue mixing until you have a smooth batter.
  • Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) and prepare your baking dishes.
    If you like thinner cassava cakes, use two baking dishes and pour half of the cassava cake mixture into each dish.
  • Pour the cassava batter into the prepared baking dishes and spread evenly.
    If you want to add grated cheese, sprinkle an even layer on the cassava mixture.
    Place the baking dishes in the preheated oven and bake for about 1 hour, or until set and the top of the cake is golden brown.
  • Keep an eye on the cassava cake during baking to avoid overbaking.
    Baking time may vary slightly depending on your oven and the thickness of your cassava cake.
  • After baking the cassava cake, please remove it from the oven and let it cool before slicing and serving.
    Enjoy this delightful Filipino dessert with a cup of coffee or tea, or share it with your loved ones during special occasions.
