What's Cassava Cake?
Cassava Cake is a classic Filipino dessert made from grated cassava (manioc). Cassava is also known as kamoteng kahoy or balinghoy in the Philippines. Cassava starch is also used to make tapioca. There are different cassava cakes around, but this Cassava Cake Recipe is by far, the best that I ever had.
I remember when I was just a little kid most of the vacant lot in our backyard have either banana trees or kamoteng kahoy( balinghoy) planted. My father used to boil cassava as our meryenda during afternoons. I like to dip mine in sugar cause you know me I have a sweet tooth. And now we are equipped with the knowldge on to the cooking.
This cassava cake recipe is really simple to cook and prepare. I purposely made this cassava cake recipe as easy to follow as possible so everyone can enjoy it. I would probably compare the taste to the likes of Don Benito's and Ralo's.

2 packs grated cassava (about 2 lbs total weight)
2 cans coconut milk (4 cups)
