Ingredients for Banana Cassava Cake

  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup thick coconut cream
  • 2 ripe bananas (about 1 ½ cups mashed)
  • Cassava

How to Make Banana Cassava Cake

  1. Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and lightly grease an 8-inch square baking pan.
  2. In a large bowl, beat together 1 cup of thick coconut cream and ½ cup of granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Add 2 ripe, mashed bananas (about 1 ½ cups mashed) and mix until thoroughly combined.
  4. Gently fold in 2 cups of finely grated cassava until just incorporated. Be careful not to overmix.
  5. Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and bake for 45-50 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean and the top is golden brown.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
