I Can´t Help It

Cassava cake

I am experimenting again.. I wanted to make a Filipino dessert because I have grated frozen cassava or tapioca and a few frozen banana leaves given by my friend. My first time making cassava Suman failed as I didn´t continue making it. Suman is a Filipino delicatessen made of tapioca, coconut milk and brown sugar wrapped in a wilted banana leaf. I have made the mixture more liquid than dry and the banana leaves are not enough for making them. So what did I do? I made cassava cake from the mixture of Suman ingredients. I just added some ingredients for making this cake. Mind you, I have not made this cake for years. Now, I made it from my memory of how my mother did it. The cassava cake is in the oven now. If it is good, I will bring this tomorrow to our Filipino bonding. If not, I have to think about something to bring. Wish me luck. I will add the photo later when the cassava cake is done. Thanks for reading. I hope you have a nice Thursday.

I am glad it was yummy @thelme55 I have to see if I can get the ingredients I need online, the grocery I was at did not have the rye flour I want to use.

There is frozen grated cassava in an Asian store. Maybe you can get it there @DocAndersen. Thank you and have a nice day.

@DocAndersen I agree with you. Here in the Asian store, they sell fresh cassava roots but I don't buy them.
