Have you ever eaten cassava? If so, you might be familiar with the traditional cake that I will make. We call this traditional cake "Getuk".
To this day, this traditional cake is still widely found in my area. In fact, there are still many sellers who sell this traditional cake as a sweet food for breakfast.
It is not difficult to make this traditional cake recipe. It only takes a little care when forming the cake to be served in a good shape.
Although, this cake is not difficult to make, there is an important thing to note, namely the quality of the cassava itself if the cassava is not of good quality then the texture of this cake will be unpleasant.
Today I went to the market, specifically to buy cassava and I really wanted to make Pounded Cassava Cakes. So, I prayed to find good quality cassava that is suitable for making this cake.
Thankfully, I managed to find good quality cassava. It can be proven when I steamed the cassava. With this success, that's why I posted about this traditional cake recipe. Let's get started!
THE INGREDIENTS
- 500 grams of cassava
- 2 tbsp of margarine
- 4 tbsp of sugar
- 2 drops of pandan (green) essences or any color you like
- enough grated coconut

THE RESULTS
The color of Pounded Cassava Cakes is charming! Not too bright and not too pale.
I love how the sweet and savory blend together. In fact, this sweet cake has a very soft texture because it also uses added margarine.
Do you want to try these beautiful Pounded Cassava Cakes? I sent this to you. ❤️

Oh my, the process of making it is like similar to "Nilupak" here in there Philippines. The Cassava is mashed or pounded just like this. The best toppings for me for this is Margarine or Cheese. I already tried the one with cassava and the other one which is a mashed plantain. They are the best! It's been a long time though since I last had it. And seeing this made ne crave for it 😫🤤🤤🤤🤩. Your presentation of this food is super really good.
Your cuisine always looks tempting and delicious.. I always wish to grab it from your platter 😛
I never heard of cassava, as it is not available in my city.. Anyways traditional sweets is always gives the best taste n aroma.. thanks for sharing..
Ohh this looks really good!
Our local store has Cassava and I only bought it once and didn't know what to use it for! You bet I'll be buying more and trying this out, it looks so simple to prepare!
In my country, we also eat many things that are made with that vegetable called Yucca, however, that dessert that you are presenting there, I have never eaten it, that green color makes it look much better and more appetizing, thank you for the recipe, because it simply looks that it is very easy to make.
Getuk is very delicious kind of snacks I already missed eating cassava cakes. Good thing my Grandpa have lots of cassava, I would love to try this at home Ma'am @anggreklestari . ☺️
I never tried eating Cassava cake Ma'am and it looks like very delicious. Our Market don't sell cassava crops and it needs to go to other Municipality. I wish I could taste that delicious snacks. ☺
Oh my goodness, your food presentation is one of the best always 🥰. I love cassava, lots of hard work, and patience it requires we used to make cassava cake too, the traditional. Yours is a bit fancy. Adding pandan for colorong is a brilliant idea. I should have known that a long time ago :)
How beautiful you have made this dish, as always, and how lucky you got a good cassava, hahaha I really know how frustrating it is to buy a bad quality cassava.
Any dessert cakes that don't have to be baked in the oven is good. The cassava looks like a light-colored sweet potato we use to bake pies.
Thanks for sharing.
