[...] Andrea made this rich dessert which she learned from her sister-in-law who is a Vietnamese. I called it a rich dessert because it is made with coconut milk. Cassava or Yuca is a very hardy tuberous root. Cassava brings back my childhood memory where cassava grew wildly at our backyard. It is very easy to grow them. You just simply cut a portion of the stem and stick it to the ground and a new plant will grow from there. We simply enjoy the cassava by just boiling them in some salt water or make Cassava Cake.

Hello Susanne,
Thanks for this recipe. I have not had this for a long time. I am also after a steamed Tappioca recipe. It’s served as a dessert. The tappioca, cut in chunks, are steamed (from memory, i think it is steamed) n served with syrup. Have you had it before or has anyone heard of it? I remember having it in a Thai restaurant in Kuala Lumpur.

Hi Celia, I’m sure you can use the freshly grated cassava. I’ve checked, one packet of the frozen one weigh one pound. The recipe calls for 2 packets. As for the butter, I dont think salted or unsalted matters. Its just for glistening the top and some buttery flavour. I’m glad you like the recipe.

Dear Susanne:

Is it possible to make this cake with fresh grated cassava. I canÂ´t find it in packages since there are a lot and i mean a lot of fresh cassava here in Panama City (Central America). An if so,how much will be the quantity. Also, the butter has to be the unsalted kind? This is really one of the simplest recipes for this cake and i am really looking forward to baking one. There is a recipe here but is too much work, it even recall for white cheese, anise, etc, etc. Yours looks very yummy and not complicated to prepare. Thanks for sharing the recipes!!!

Hi Wendy,

I bought the grated cassava from Great One Supermarket on Park Road. I heard from another friend that you can find grated cassava from 99 cents Dollar Store (which also sell Filipino goods) near Lansdowne too.

Hi! I really like your blog, especially because I reside in Vancouver also. Your blog gives me a chance to see food from restaurants I haven’t visited yet.

I have a question, I want to get some grated cassava to make pichi-pichi, but I have no idea where to get it…would you be able to tell me where in Richmond I can get it? Thanks!!
