Getuk Lindri (Gluten-Free Cassava Cake)

Ingredients

• 1 kg Cassava, peeled and chopped
• 150 g Sugar
• 1/4 teaspoon Salt
• 1 cup Grated Coconut
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
• Food Coloring (optional)

Instructions

1. 1Place the 1 kg of Cassava, peeled and chopped, into a steamer basket set over a pot of boiling water. Steam for 25-30 minutes, or until the cassava is fork-tender and easily pierced.
2. 2While the cassava is still hot, transfer it to a large bowl. Add the 150 g of Sugar and the 1/4 teaspoon of Salt. Stir in the 1 teaspoon of Vanilla Extract.
3. 3Using a meat grinder or a food processor, process the hot cassava mixture until it is smooth and well combined. This will take a few minutes.
4. 4If using Food Coloring, divide the smooth cassava mixture into separate portions. Add a few drops of your desired Food Coloring to each portion and knead it in until the color is evenly distributed.
5. 5Take a portion of the colored or uncolored cassava mixture. Roll it between your hands to form a log shape, or press it into other desired shapes.
6. 6Arrange the shaped cassava pieces on a serving platter. Sprinkle the 1 cup of Grated Coconut generously over the top of the Getuk Lindri.
7. 7Serve the Getuk Lindri immediately while it is still warm.
