Puto Kamoteng Kahoy

The image shows a serving of Puto Kamoteng Kahoy, a traditional Filipino steamed cake made from cassava (kamoteng kahoy). The white, round cakes are arranged in a banana leaf wrap, adding to the rustic and authentic presentation of this classic Filipino delicacy.

Ingredients

  • 4 cups grated cassava
  • 5 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 tablespoon Brown sugar or mascuvado
  • grated coconut ( optional)

Instructions

  1. By using a cheese cloth squeeze the juice out of the grated cassava, until totally removed.
  2. Combine the cassava and 5 tablespoons sugar, then mix will.
  3. Prepare the molders, I used an empty can of tuna. I put ¾ full because this is so thick if I will make it full.
  4. Empty can of tuna, I made holes so that the steam can pass through.
  5. Sprinkle the molders with brown sugar or mascuvado then put the cassava mixture and steam for 20 minutes or until done.
  6. Sprinkled with mascuvado
  7. Serve hot with grated coconut or margarine.
