BAKED TAPIOCA CAKE

Baked Tapioca Cake aka Cassava Cake is my family and my favourite Kuih of all Kuihs.  This recipe is quite similar to my earlier post on this kuih.  I was tempted to bake this kuih because the fresh tapioca was selling so cheap at Tesco for only RM0.99 cents a kilo.

I have baked it in 2 portions in a loaf pan and aluminium foil as I intend to give away a portion to a relative.  The cake should look tall and nice if I had baked it in a 7 inch square tin.

The kuih is not too sweet and packed with grated tapioca.  No flour is added and the sweetness is acceptable to me with the lovely aroma of grated tapioca.   My hubby says it's nice and he can have more because the sweetness is acceptable.

This is an easy baked kuih to make but the only tedious part is the grating.  However, you can blend the fresh tapioca with a little water in the blender to form into a paste.
