Cassava Cake | FoodieAtlas

Ingredients

2 cups grated cassava (tavioka)
1 cup sugar
1 cup coconut milk
1/2 cup butter, melted
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup desiccated coconut (optional, for added texture)
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg or cinnamon (optional, for flavor)

Instructions

Preheat Oven

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a baking dish or line it with parchment paper.

Prepare the Mixture

In a large bowl, combine the grated cassava, sugar, coconut milk, melted butter, eggs, vanilla extract, baking powder, and salt. Mix until well combined.

If using, add the desiccated coconut and ground nutmeg or cinnamon, and mix well.

Bake

Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and smooth the top with a spatula.

Bake for 45-60 minutes, or until the cake is firm and golden brown on top. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out clean.

Cool and Serve

Allow the cassava cake to cool in the dish for about 15 minutes before slicing.
