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.
