CASSAVA CAKE RECIPE

Way back in my high school days, I used to buy Cassava Pudding for recess at the Night Class canteen in NOHS. It is one of my favorites. Living here in the US made me miss eating my favorite foods at home. So I have to find ways to be able to make it. So I tried to experiment and later came up with a recipe that tickles my taste buds, I mean that I like. Cassava Cake is mainly made of grated cassava, milk, sugar, and coconut milk. So here it is:





Ingredients:
2 LBS. grated cassava
1 can coconut milk (minus 6 tbsp. for the topping)
1 cup white sugar
3 eggs
1/4 cup butter
1 can evaporated milk
1 can condensed milk (minus 6 tbsp for the topping)
1 tsp vanilla

FOR TOPPING:

6 tbsp coconut milk
6 tbsp condensed milk
2 egg yolks

PROCEDURE:
1. Pre-heat oven to 375 degrees.
2. Mix all the ingredients (except the topping ingredients) in a bowl.
3. After it is mixed well,put it in a greased baking pan.
4. Bake it in the oven for about 35-45 minutes or until the mixtures dries.
5. On the other hand, mix all the topping ingredients,well. After the cassava is done in the oven, pour the topping and bake it for another 25 minutes or until the topping turns golden brown.
6. Take it out from the oven,let it cool down a little and ready to serve. Eat, eat, eat!!!:)

 For those who are in the US and do not have fresh coconut milk, you can buy coconut milk in cans.
