Cassava Cake is a snack/dessert that I can say I’m pretty good at making. I’ve been making this yummy snack since we were still living in the U.K. some 10 years ago when my sister-in-law showed me how. Now in France I keep this recipe for this dessert which is very easy to make. At par with other Filipino desserts like suman mais and bibingki. This popular Filipino dessert is in a class of its own.

Cassava Cake is a hearty dessert for special occasions or you can serve it as a  sweet yet  snack and a perfect coffee or tea match. The recipe includes grated cassava and coconut milk and then topped with condensed milk brûlée. It’s perfect for coconut lovers, plus it’s eggless.

If you’ve never had it, you’re in for a real treat but if you’ve had plenty of Cassava Cake before, you’re probably here to look for the Easiest Cassava Cake recipe out there. I bet your family and friends will fall in love with the creamy, rich and decadent delight.
