Milk and Cassava Cake

CASSAVA CAKE INGREDIENTS * 2 pounds Cassava root, grated * 1 can Coconut Cream * 1 can Coconut Milk * 3 Eggs, beaten * 1 cup Whole Milk * 1 stick or 1 cup Butter, melted * 2 cups Sugar * 1/2 teaspoon Salt * 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract * 1/2 cup grated Cheese (optional) Topping: * 1 can Condensed Milk * 1/3 cup Coconut Cream * 3 Egg yolks * 1/2 cup grated Cheese PREPARATION TIME : 15 minutes COOKING TIME : 60 minutes Pre-heat oven at 400 °F 1 Mix together all the cassava ingredients except the topping. Portion the mix into 2 separate baking pans (or one rectangular pan) and pop them in the oven.

Bake for 35 - 40 mins or until the top is firm and set. 3 Mix together the topping and simmer for a minute. Set aside. 4 Pour the topping onto the cake and bake for another 15 minutes or until golden brown. Test for doneness - please see Cook's Tip below. 5 Let the Cassava Cake cool down for 30 minutes or longer before slicing and serving.

BENG'S TIPS * The cassava cake cooks faster if you portion the mix into 2 or 3 smaller pans than baking them all in one pan. The center of the cake gets cooked last so to test for doneness - the top should be golden brown, then insert a toothpick in the center and if comes out clean, it's done. * Substitution : for a creamier, tastier cake, use Half and Half, light cream or evaporated milk instead of whole milk. Also, you can use 6 egg yolks instead of 3 whole eggs. Read more: http://www.
