Steamed Cassava Cake in a Bundt Pan




In Southeast Asia, cassava or tapioca is a widely used ingredient. It can also be sliced, fried, and turned into cassava chips, which make a delightful snack when combined with a particular chilli sauce. It can also be converted into cakes, meals, and basic foods.

This cassava or tapioca cake can be prepared in several methods, including baking, steaming, wrapping in banana leaves, and baking or steaming. There are numerous recipes for this pastry that can be made with or without eggs and with or without butter. Some individuals prefer waxy ones, others prefer hard ones, some prefer sweet ones, some prefer milky flavours, and still, others prefer coconut flavors—some are even dusted with finely chopped coconut.

I have experimented with various methods. The recipe I'm sharing today was modified to have the texture and flavour I prefer. I've done it multiple times with wonderful results.

The taste of this steamed cassava cake is perfect, and the preparation is incredibly straightforward. It has a lovely texture and is not overly sweet. Coconut milk and grated cassava are mixed to create this delicious delicacy.


The cassava liquid is supposed to be drained in several internet recipes. In my opinion, the best flavour should be preserved. so I don't do that.  

Cassava is a starchy root. The root is therefore the key component of this dessert. For this recipe, flour or starch cannot be used as a substitute.

I tried steaming it this time in a Bundt pan instead of my usual 8" square cake pan, which turned even the easiest cake recipe into something lovely. For bakers of all skill levels, a Bundt is an excellent investment that is effortlessly beautiful.

Are you starting to drool over this delectable dessert? Let us get all the ingredients to hand and detailed instructions to get started.

1200g cassava, shredded

320g thick coconut milk

300g castor sugar

Ondeh-Ondeh in 3 flavour (椰丝球)

Today made a popular dessert in Malaysia, “Ondeh Ondeh”, a type of Nyonya recipe. It is also called “Buah Melaka” because it looks like the fruit of the Malacca tree. The procedure of making is easy. The flavoured glutinous rice balls have grated fresh coconut on the outside and melting Gula Melaka, or palm sugar, inside. The white, milky coconut shreds and little balls of various colours appear fresh and natural. and has a charming appearance. The glutinous rice balls, soft glutinous and chewy are determined by the amount of water and cooking time. The softer the rice balls, the more water and more time it boiled. We like our coconut shreds to be moist and crisp, the melted Gula Melaka to be rich and flavorful, and the texture to be somewhat mushy and sticky. It seems like the nostalgic flavour of my childhood is returning. In addition to the traditional pandan flavour, I have included instructions for making it with sweet potatoes and pumpkin. Of all the flavours of "ondeh...

Dong Po Rou (东坡肉)

Dong Po Rou (东坡肉) – wine braised pork belly. It’s rich and savoury, tender that melts into your mouth. Traditionally, the pork belly is pan-fried before being braised or stewed for one to one and a half hours on low heat. Some of the recipes even call for steaming for an additional half an hour after stewing. It is very time-consuming. But as you are aware, I enjoy making recipes simpler without compromising the taste. You, too, I'm sure. Therefore, I skipped the pan-frying step and proceeded directly to braising the pork after blanching it, and then continued to cook with a pressure cooker. Don't worry; the dish's flavour remains unaffected. I'm hoping this simplified method may come in handy for your regular cooking. Trim off the edges of the pork and cut it into 3x3 cubes. Tie cooking twine around each cube. This will assist the cubes in keeping their form while cooking. If the pork that you bought is at the mid portion of the belly is ideal, there is a nice bala...
