METERS
cup = 240 ml, spoon = 15 ml, teaspoon = 10 ml, teaspoon = 5 ml
Ingredients: CASSAVA CAKE, AIPIM OR MACAXEIRA
– 1.2 kg of cassava/cassava/cassava (for the quantity of peeled cassava see the recipe)
– 100 g of fresh or hydrated grated coconut
– 4 units of eggs
– 2 cups of sugar
– 150g unsalted butter or other butter of your choice, plus a little for greasing
PREPARATION:
- Remove the butter from the refrigerator to use it at room temperature, well softened. If necessary, place it in the microwave for a few seconds to obtain the desired cooking, without melting it.
- Separate the utensils and ingredients for the recipe.
- Preheat the oven to 180°C.
- Generously butter a round baking pan with a hole in the center 25cm in diameter and 10cm high to make an entire recipe (4 portions).
- If you don’t buy peeled cassava, peel it. For every 2 servings 500 g of peeled cassava should be used.
- Cut the cassava-cassava into smaller pieces, remove the central thread and blend it in a food processor (preferably) or in a blender (check if yours is powerful and divide it into small portions so as not to overload the appliance and grind the entire quantity). Reserve.
PREPARATION:
CASSAVA, AIPIM OR MACAXEIRA CAKE (this step can be done by hand or in the mixer, as you prefer).
- In a bowl, beat the eggs with the sugar using a wire whisk or a mixer until a soft cream forms.
CASSAVA, AIPIM OR MACAXEIRA CAKE (this step must be done by hand):
- Add the softened butter little at a time, beating with a whisk after each addition: this procedure is important to guarantee the consistency of the cake.
- To the egg and butter mixture, add the grated coconut and the raw cassava/cassava/chopped cassava and mix everything very well with a spatula.
CASSAVA, AIPIM OR MACAXEIRA CAKE – COOKING:
- Place the dough in the greased pan, filling at least ½ of the height for a shorter cake or ¾ of the height for a taller cake.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C for about 45 minutes (*4 portions – a tall cake) until the cake is cooked inside and golden on the outside.
- Do the toothpick test to check if it is cooked. If it comes out dry, remove the cake from the oven and turn off the heat.
- Let it cool a little before turning it out.
- Once it has cooled, loosen the cake with the help of a knife and remove it from the mold.
- Turn the cake upside down onto a serving plate, turn it over again, leaving the crunchy part of the coconut shell facing up.
FINALIZATION AND ASSEMBLY:
- Serve the cassava cake, cassava or cassava sliced. With a cup of coffee it becomes even more delicious.
