Cassava Cake with Macapuno
$60.00
Cassava Cake with Macapuno (often called Cassava Bibingka or Macapuno Cassava Cake) is a dense, chewy Filipino kakanin (rice-free cake) made from grated cassava root, sweetened with condensed milk and coconut milk, and crowned with a creamy custard topping studded with macapuno—those silky, jelly-like mutant coconut strings prized for their tender, almost gummy texture and subtle sweetness. It’s a staple at Filipino parties, merienda, or pasalubong (gifts), especially in Luzon and among diaspora communities. Baked in a round or rectangular pan lined with banana leaves, it emerges golden-brown with a crackly top and a moist, pudding-like interior—think flan meets mochi in tropical form. One 9×13-inch pan serves 12–16.
