Provided by MJH

Number Of Ingredients 8

3 1/2 cups sugar
3/4 cup water
700 g/1 pound (~2cups) of peeled, shredded cassava
1 1/2 cups butter/margarine
1 1/4 cups shredded fresh coconut
3/4 cup coconut milk
8 egg yolks
Pinch of salt

Steps:

  • Preheat your oven to 390ºF/200ºC Mix the sugar and water in a pan and place over medium heat until it forms a thick syrup, don't mix! When its done, add the butter/margarine and let it cool down for a while. Pass the egg yolks through a sieve (to get that thin casing out) and mix the cassava, coconut milk, shredded fresh coconut and the pinch of salt. When your syrup reaches room temperature, mix it with the egg yolk mixture. To bake, smear some butter all over the inside of your cake mold and completely cover with some sugar. Pour in the cake batter in the mold and place it inside of a half filled baking tray with water. Bake 1 hour and 30 minutes.
