How to Make Toppings for a Cassava Cake (13 Steps)

Also known as yucca and manioc, cassava plants produce roots that have many applications in regional cuisines. In the Philippines, grated cassava roots are a primary ingredient in bibingkang kamoteng kahoy, a traditional dessert. These delicacies are coconut-flavored, flourless cakes. Many different recipes for cassava cake toppings exist, ranging from simple combinations of eggs and condensed milk to rich, coconut-flavored toppings. Some recipes call for grated cheese which, when baked on the cake, give it a warm brown color. Add the topping to an already baked cassava cake and then return the topped cake to the oven for the topping to set.
