Cassava Coconut Cake
- 1 package (1 pound) frozen grated cassava, thawed and well drained in a sieve
- 1 1/2 cups sugar
- 2 1/2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1/3 cup water
- 1 2/3 cups coconut milk, canned or freshly made (page 318)
- 1 egg, lightly beaten
- 1 cup lightly packed Ground Steamed Mung Bean (page 322)
- Position a rack in the middle of the oven and preheat to 375F.
- Oil a 9- or 10-inch round cake pan with at least 2-inch sides and line the bottom with parchment paper.
- Pick through the cassava, discarding any large chunks or stringy pieces.
- Set aside.
- To make the batter, in a bowl, stir together the sugar and cornstarch.
- In another bowl, whisk together the water, coconut milk, and egg until blended.
- Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix well.
- Add the mung bean and cassava and whisk gently until fully incorporated.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan.
- Bake for about 1 1/4 hours, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean and the top is yellow with patches tinged golden brown.
- Remove from the oven and put on a rack to cool completely.
- The cake will rise slightly and then fall during baking.
- Run a knife around the pan sides to loosen the cake and unmold the cake onto a serving plate.
- Cut into wedges to serve.
