1/4 cup of sugar for the pastry board

Equipment needed:
You will need meat grinder, a saucepan, a spatula, a rolling pin, a knife and, a

 Cassava Cake
This is a classic Filipino dessert enjoyed year round. Most of the ingredients can be found in
an oriental store near you. I have found the most difficult ingredient to find is usually the
coconut cream. If you can't find it don't worry. Simply use another can of coconut milk in it's
place. Also it is easier to just buy the cassava already grated. It should be in the freezer
section. You could cut the recipe in half but then you are left with 1/2 a can of everything. Or
try making one thick cake. You'll have to cook much longer though. Careful, I'm not sure if it
will all fit in one pan. I hope you enjoy it!

Ingredients
Cake
2 Lbs Grated Cassava
1 14 oz. Can Sweetened Condensed Milk (Reserve 1/3 cup for Topping)

1 13 oz. Can Coconut Cream (Reserve 1/3 cup for Topping)
2/3 Cup Sugar
3 Eggs plus 3 Egg Whites
1 Cup Grated Coconut
Topping

3 Egg Yokes
1/3 Cup Reserved Sweetened Condensed Milk
1/3 Cup Reserved Coconut Milk
1/3 Cup Reserved Coconut Cream

Directions
Preheat oven to 325° f. In large mixing bowl combine cake ingredients. Mix well. Pour equally
into two large greased rectangular pans. Bake until top is no longer liquid (approximately 30
minutes). Mix topping ingredients well and spread evenly on the two cakes. Bake an
additional 20 to 30 minutes. Cool cakes completely. Slice each cake into 24 equal squares.

To make it healthy and if you have the time, cook the papaitan long before you intend to serve. Let it cool, then
refrigerate. All the fat will solidify, and you can easily scrape it from the surface. The taste will not change, it will
even improve as the meat and all the condiments will have blended so well in the broth already.

Calamansi juice will further enhance the taste. And if you want a stronger pepper aroma but not the spice, put some
chopped siling haba.
