Oh my goodness! Oh my goodness! This was my very first cassava cake and all I can say is I will never have to wait for my friends to bring one to a potluck because I can have it all to myself at home.:) But then I finally decided I can share the happiness. Thank you!

OMG, this is sooo good. I used to work with a girl from the Philippines and she would make this all the time....I was sad when she left....But I knew I would have to find this recipe. This tasted EXACTLY like hers. The only thing I will do differently next time, is more puree the cassava and coconut so it is of a finer texture.
