Method

1. Grease and line an oblong tin 26cm x 18cm x 4cm with greaseproof paper. Preheat the oven to gas 5/190C.

2. Combine the cassava, coconut, pumpkin and sweet potato in a big mixing bowl.

3. Add the sugar, cinnamon, vanilla, pepper and raisins.

4. Gradually stir in the coconut milk and mix everything together until smooth.

5. Pour the batter into the prepared tin and bake for around 1 hour, or until the top is golden and the cake firm to the touch. This cake makes a good match with coconut ice cream.

In Australlia I can buy Cassava in a Phillipino (Phillipines) Grocery store, So can I suggest you TRY an ASIAN store or store that sells Phillipine {as in Manilla] groceries. TRUST ME-famous last words- I had a Cassava cake (when I went to an end of term computer course party & we all brought food in from our International origins) IT WAS SO GOOD I nearly ate it all myself
