Receta en Español
Yucca cake is the most typical dessert in Fiji Islands, it is also typical in other countries like Philippines.
Sometimes yucca is accompanied by banana, the recipe I bring today is with banana.
Method:
1- Cut yucca in half and peel it.
2- Cut yucca alongside to get rid of the root that goes through the inner side:
3- Grate the yucca.
4- Put grated yucca in a strainer and crush it to get rid of the liquid.
5- Put coconut cream and sugar in a bowl, mix well.
6- Put bananas in other bowl and blend. Then put blended bananas into the other bowl that contains coconut cream.
7- Add the mixture of coconut cream and bananas to the yucca and mix well.
8- Line an oven proof recipent with parchment paper, put the mixture inside.
9- Preheat oven at 175ºC.
10- Cook the cake in oven for 45 minutes at the same temperature, until it gets gold and you know it is cooked when you poke the cake with a knife and you take it out clean.
Bananas must be black and ripe to give a sweet taste to the cake, otherwise you should add more sugar.

My comments to the Recipe :
To grate the yucca is very hard. Bananas must be black and ripe to give a sweet taste to the cake, otherwise you should add more sugar.
Coconut cream is a kind of thick coconut milk, you can buy it liquid or powder, I bought powder to make the cream as thick as I wanted.
I bought coconut cream at desi gourmet (Ricardo Ortiz 24, Madrid).
