Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Grated cassava
- 1 cup Coconut milk
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened desiccated coconut
- 0.5 cup Erythritol or any low-carb sweetener
- 0.25 cup Unsalted butter, melted
- 2 pieces Large eggs
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease an 8x8 inch baking pan with butter or cooking spray.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the grated cassava, coconut milk, unsweetened desiccated coconut, erythritol, melted butter, eggs, vanilla extract, and salt.
Mix all the ingredients together with a whisk or spatula until well combined and smooth.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for about 45-50 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the edges are crisp.
To check for doneness, insert a toothpick into the center of the cake; if it comes out clean, the cake is ready.
Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes.
Once slightly cooled, cut the cake into squares and serve warm or at room temperature.
Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
