Ingredients

  • 1 cup evaporated milk
  • 2 eggs lightly beaten

US Customary - Metric

Instructions

  • Melt butter in microwave or sauce pan and let it cool.
  • In a bowl, combine grated cassava, sugar, evaporated milk, eggs, coconut meat and butter. Mix well.
  • Pour mixture in a baking pan or pyrex measuring 8 ½ x 6 ½.
  • Bake for 40 minutes at 325 degrees F until golden brown.
  • Original recipe calls for 1 can condensed milk, but I used only ¾ can. After baking for 30 minutes, remove cassava cake from oven and spread condensed milk evenly on top of cassava cake until it caramelizes. 
  • Continue baking for another 10 minutes. Five minutes before it is done, switch the dial to broil. Broil for 5 minutes. Note: Stay close by since topping can easily burn. Some areas of topping will be lighter or darker and that's normal.
