Cassava Cake

Cassava cake is among the most popular Pinoy native delicacies. In Iloilo, one can find it in the stalls insides malls and groceries in ready to go boxes or in bite size pieces ready to satisfy one's cravings.


But it is also easy to prepare as the ingredients can be mostly found in the wet market or even grocery stores. 

Here's a simple cassava cake recipe:


Ingredients :
CAKE 
  • 2 and 1/2 cups grated cassava
  • 1 and 1/2 cups coconut milk
  • 1 cup sugar 
  • 1 can condensed milk 
TOPPINGS
  • 1 Can Condensed Milk
  • 1/2 cup Coconut Cream
  • 1 Egg yolks
  • 1/2 cup grated Cheese





Procedures :
  1. Preheat the oven to around 350°F. Mix CAKE all ingredients thoroughly.
  2. Place the mixture in well-greased baking pans. Make sure the mix in the pan are just about an inch thick to ensure more even cooking.
  3. Bake from around 45 minutes to an hour. (Or insert a toothpick in the middle, if it comes out clean, it is good to go)


  4. In a separate pan, combine TOPPINGS ingredients and mix thoroughly until smooth in consistency. Cook in low heat, mixing regularly to avoid burning, until it thickens.
  5. Pour the sauce topping on the cooked cake. Then bake again briefly until top starts to brown to the shade of your liking. 
  6.  Remove from oven and let it cool. Sprinkle more grated cheese if desired




Depending on your baking pan, you can have rounded cassava cakes that produce wedges or if its rectangular, you can have cassava cake squares (above).



Serve it at room temperature but I like eating my cassava cake cold - from inside the fridge for hours. Makes my senses taste the delicious goodness more. Namit gid!

Simple Pochero Ilonggo

POCHERO. The most familiar recipes are the ones stewed with tomatoes (or tomato sauce) or the Cebu variant which is like bulalo or nilaga, but the pochero I grew up with is just very simple. It's just pork cooked with potatoes and/or saba (cooking banana) with kamote tops or pechay. I just love the mild sweetness of the broth brought about by the bananas to the savory broth. Or sometimes, it tends lean more of the tomato based recipe, just without the tomato itself or sauce. The recipe is just very simple - just boil the pork first until tender. Add the "hard" veggies like potatoes, saba, carrots, etc then finally when the leafy veggies when its almost done. Just season it with salt or broth cubes for a savory broth.

Simple Bukayo

Bukayo is a native Filipino delicacy which is made mainly with coconut strips and sugar. There are two popular variants - moist and dry (also called bocarillo).  The former is typically made into toppings and fillings for suman latik and inday-inday, among others, though I just love eating it right from the container.  The latter is more candy type reminiscent of bandi, which takes a shape of its own and is more convenient to be eaten on the go. Both share almost the same recipe with some more or less tweaks to make the other. Here's a Recipe to make the Dry-type Bukayo. Ingredients 3 cups Young coconut meat, shredded 2 cups Muscovado Sugar, adjust 1/2 cup Coconut juice or plain water Vanilla extract Calamansi rind (optional) How to make Bukayo In a wok, place coconut juice or water and sugar then mix thoroughly.
