How to Make Cassava Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C). Grease and flour two 9x13 inch rectangular baking pans.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 cups grated cassava, 1 cup granulated sugar, 1/2 cup condensed milk, 1/2 cup evaporated milk, 4 large eggs, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1/2 cup all-purpose flour. Mix until just combined.
  3. Pour batter evenly into the prepared pans.
  4. Bake for 45-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  5. While cakes bake, prepare the topping: In a separate bowl, combine 1/2 cup desiccated coconut, 1/4 cup butter, melted, and 1/4 cup granulated sugar. Mix well.
  6. Once the cakes are baked, remove from oven and immediately spread the coconut topping evenly over each cake.
  7. Bake for an additional 20-30 minutes, or until the topping is lightly golden brown.
  8. Let cakes cool completely in the pans before slicing.
  9. Once cooled, slice each cake into 24 equal squares. Enjoy!
