"This is my ultimate favorite Filipino dessert. I used to work in an office with many Filipino women, and one would always be asked to bring this awesome cake. It's not really cake, it's dense. And the topping - OMG... Try this, you won't be disappointed! You can find frozen grated cassava at Asian markets, and sometimes in the grocery store. My local Publix carries it - and we don't have a huge Asian population here."

This cake is really different, but very good! it is dense in a chewyish way, kinda reminds me of a coconut macaroon with the texture being different. I love the topping and the addition of cheese is quite remarkable, because one would never guess it was in there. it provides it with a certain element of flavor. This dessert is something that my extended family would love as well and would be a great potluck contribution for the next time we meet. A great dessert and I'm so glad that I found this to try! Thank you, JostLori, for sharing!
