Hello!
It is the rainy season and the weather makes me sleepy. But another good thing about the rainy season is that cassava is easy to grow and fast to harvest. This is a tuber plant like potatoes and yam. It is a starchy root crop so it is good to consume when you have a long day.
In this article, I will be sharing my recipe for cassava cake. My father is craving some hot cassava cake to pair with his coffee, so we bought two cassavas from a local farmer in our town. Cassava cake is a classic Filipino dessert.

So, here is the cassava cake recipe
Ingredients
2 medium cassava
3 spoons of coconut powder
condensed milk
cheese
salt
butter
water
I am just estimating everything at this point.
First, you have to grate the cassava crop. Make sure that the size of the cassava bits is equal. It is nicer in that way, Do not grate too big or too small. On the other hand, set your oven to 175 degrees Celsius or 350 degrees Fahrenheit for five minutes.
In a bowl, mix the coconut powder and warm water. stir until all the coconut powder is dissolved. It is better to opt for fresh coconut milk or gata. In our case, we do not have the resources or time to extract coconut milk. This is an instant one that we bought in the supermarket. It tastes the same but of course, a lesser quality of coconut milk. Add butter and cheese too in the mix so that the batter will not stick to the pan.
On the cupcake tray, brush the butter generously. This will prevent the cassava cake to stick on the pan. It is easier to take them off later.
Transfer the batter to the pan and distribute it evenly. My batter was a little bit short for two. I tried to adjust the portions per hole so that every cake will be baked evenly. Sprinkle grated cheese on top and salt.
Put them in the oven. Be careful not to burn yourself. Set the time for 20 minutes, and now you wait for it to bake.
Every five minutes, I check the cassava cake to make sure that they are baked evenly. After 10 minutes, the top is in a brownish color. Ahhh, you can smell the cassava cake all around the house. What just annoys me is the weather is hot and the oven is also hot, ugh, makes me sweat.
After 20 minutes, the cassava cake is done. I tried to poke one to make sure that they are baked thoroughly. Rest them for a bit before transferring to a plate.
Perfect pair to coffee or tea.
That is it for this recipe article! I hope I shared something helpful.
