Ingredients

  • 3 cups Grated Cassava (Mandioca)

  • 1 cup Grated Coconut

  • 1/2 cup Sugar

Original measure retained: its cup/spoon or fluid-volume standard is unspecified.

Instructions

  1. 1Preheat your oven to 175°C.
  2. 2First, melt the 2 tbsp of Butter. In a large mixing bowl, add the 3 cups of Grated Cassava, the 1 can of Sweetened Condensed Milk, the 1 can of Coconut Milk, the 1 cup of Grated Coconut, the 2 large Eggs, the melted 2 tbsp of Butter, and the 1/2 cup of Sugar.
  3. 3Using a spoon or whisk, thoroughly mix all the ingredients until they are fully combined and the batter looks smooth.
  4. 4Carefully pour the entire batter into a 22.86 × 33.02 cm baking dish.
  5. 5Bake the cake in the preheated 175°C oven for 45 to 50 minutes. The cake is ready when its top is golden brown and a clean toothpick inserted into the center comes out without any wet batter.
  6. 6Allow the cake to cool completely in the 22.86 × 33.02 cm baking dish before slicing and serving. This cooling time lets the cake set properly, making it easier to cut into neat pieces.
