Ingredients
- 1000 grams grated cassava
- 400 ml coconut milk
- 200 ml coconut cream
- 50 grams rice flour
- 150 grams granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 2 pieces pandan leaves
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8x8 inch baking dish with a bit of coconut oil or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the grated cassava with the coconut milk. Mix until well combined.
Add the coconut cream, rice flour, sugar, vanilla extract, and salt to the cassava mixture. Stir until the mixture is smooth and all ingredients are well incorporated.
Tie the pandan leaves into knots and add them to the cassava mixture. This will infuse a subtle aroma and flavor. Remove them after mixing.
Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for about 60 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the cake is firm to the touch.
Once baked, remove from the oven and allow to cool in the dish for about 10 minutes. Then transfer the cake to a wire rack to cool completely.
Slice the cassava cake into squares and serve. Enjoy your delicious and creamy Vegan Cassava Cake!
