Cassava coconut cake
Dense, creamy and with no flour at all in the batter.
Ingredients
- 500 g (1 lb) raw cassava, peeled and finely grated
- 1 cup unsweetened shredded coconut (80 g / 2¾ oz)
- ½ cup sugar (100 g / 3½ oz) — no added sugar: ¾ cup erythritol (135 g)
- 3 eggs (150 g / 5½ oz)
- 200 ml (¾ cup) coconut milk
- 3 tbsp melted coconut oil (37.5 g / 1¼ oz)
- 1 tbsp baking powder (12 g)
In the no-added-sugar version, eating too much erythritol or xylitol can have a laxative effect.
Method
- Preheat the oven to 180 °C (350 °F) and grease a baking dish or cake pan.
- Grate the raw cassava on the fine side of a grater — no need to squeeze it.
