BIBINGKANG CASSAVA (CASSAVA CAKE)
The term bibingka usually refers to a certain variety of sweet Filipino cakes made from rice flour, though cassava (yuca) root can also be used to make a sweet and rich bibingka as well. In the United States, fresh cassava root can easily be found in Asian or Latin markets and sometimes in larger grocery stores. However, to save time and effort I do prefer to use frozen grated cassava found in Asian markets. Don't be alarmed by the absence of flour in this cake recipe. Because of the high starch content in cassava, it alone will be able to absorb the liquid and transform into a sweet and soft cake that may be the easiest dessert you'll ever make.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F.
- To make the cake, combine the egg yolks, cassava, macapuno (or shredded coconut, if using), coconut milk and the ½ cup sweetened condensed milk in a large bowl and mix well.
- Pour the cake batter into a greased 8 x 8-in (20 x 20-cm) cake pan. The cake batter will appear to be very loose and wet at this point, but don't worry, the cassava will absorb most of the liquid during baking. Place the cake pan into the oven and bake until the top of the cake appears dry and no liquid is floating on the surface, 45-60 minutes.
- Meanwhile, to make the topping, whisk together the egg whites and the ¼ cup (65 ml) sweetened condensed milk in a medium bowl until very well incorporated. Although you are using egg whites, don't be concerned with making a foam or a meringue, just mix until combined.
- Remove the cake from the oven and evenly pour the topping onto the cake. Return the cake to the oven and bake until the topping sets, about 10 minutes more.
- Remove the cake from the oven and rest the cake in its pan on a cooling rack. Cool the cake completely before cutting it into squares. The cassava cake can be served at room temperature, or cold out of the refrigerator.

- Beat the coconut cream and sugar together.
- Add the mashed bananas and mix thoroughly.
- Add the grated cassava and mix thoroughly.

Tips:

- Peel and grate the cassava finely. This will help the cassava to cook evenly and prevent it from becoming lumpy.
- Use a food processor or blender to grind the cassava. This will make the cassava smoother and easier to work with.
- Add grated coconut to the cassava mixture. This will give the cake a delicious coconut flavor and help to keep it moist.
- Use a combination of milk and water to make the cassava batter. This will help to prevent the cake from becoming too dry.
- Bake the cake in a preheated oven. This will help the cake to rise evenly and prevent it from sinking in the middle.
- Let the cake cool completely before serving. This will help the cake to set and make it easier to slice.
Conclusion:
Cassava cake is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With its moist and flavorful texture and its delicious coconut flavor, cassava cake is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
