Manioc coconut cake

Peel the cassava and grate finely. Squeeze the cassava shreds before further processing. Otherwise, the liquid will make the cake too rubbery. Preheat the oven to 180°C.

Mix the sugar, creamy coconut milk, baking powder, egg, and four-spice with the cassava shreds. Melt the butter and add it while lukewarm. The dough is relatively runny, but that is normal.

Then line a loaf tin completely with baking paper - flouring and greasing is not enough! Without baking paper, the cake is very difficult to remove from the tin. Pour the batter into the tin and bake for 35 to 40 minutes. The stick test tells you when the cake is done. It will have a nicely browned crust. Leave to cool and only then turn out of the tin. Enjoy!
