Cooking time 45 mins

Total time 55 mins

Difficulty: beginner

Servings: 8

Ingredients

250 g grated cassava
100 ml coconut milk
75 g of sugar
1 egg
1 tsp pandan extract (which will give the green color or vanilla extract)
1 pinch of salt
1 Tbsp melted butter for the mold
25 g grated coconut (optional, for garnish)

Preparation

1
Preparing the cassava: Peel it, grate it finely, then squeeze to remove excess moisture.
2
Mix ingredients: In a large bowl, mix the grated cassava with the coconut milk, sugar, eggs, pandan extract and a pinch of salt. Make sure all the ingredients are well combined to make a smooth dough.
3
Preparing the mold: Generously butter a square or rectangular mold (around 10 cm side) to prevent the cake from sticking, otherwise use a silicone mold. Then pour the cassava dough into the mold and smooth the surface with a spatula.
4
Cooking: Preheat the oven to 180°C. Place the cake in the oven and bake for about 45 minutes or until the surface is golden and crisp. To check doneness, insert a toothpick into the center of the cake: it should come out clean.
5
Cooling and serving: Allow the Kueh Bingka Ubi to cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares. This dessert is best enjoyed at room temperature and can be topped with shredded coconut for an added touch.

Note

Pandan extract gives the cake a unique scent and green color, but if you can't find it, vanilla extract is a great alternative.
