👨‍🍳 作り方

1
Preheat oven to 160°C (320°F). Grease and flour an 8-inch cake tin.
💡 プロのコツ: Ensure the oven rack is in the middle for even cooking.
2
In a large bowl, combine the grated cassava, sugar, coconut milk, eggs, melted butter, vanilla essence, baking powder, and salt. Mix well until all ingredients are thoroughly combined.
💡 プロのコツ: Ensure the cassava is finely grated for a smoother cake texture.
3
Pour the mixture into the prepared cake tin and spread evenly.
4
Bake for 40 minutes, or until a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
💡 プロのコツ: The cake should be golden brown on top.
5
While the cake is baking, prepare the topping. In a separate bowl, whisk together the condensed milk, egg yolks, and coconut cream until smooth.
💡 プロのコツ: This topping adds a rich, sweet glaze to the cake.
6
Once the cake is baked, remove it from the oven. While still warm, prick the surface all over with a fork or skewer. Pour the topping mixture evenly over the cake, allowing it to soak in.
7
Return the cake to the oven for another 10 minutes, or until the topping is set and lightly golden.
💡 プロのコツ: Be careful not to overbake, as the topping can burn quickly.
8
Let the cake cool completely in the tin before slicing and serving.
💡 プロのコツ: This allows the cake to firm up and makes it easier to cut.
