Kuih Bingka Ubi


This is another Wendyywy’s kuih recipe that I baked for this month. I like about this kuih because of it chewy but still in soft texture. It may look like that very easy to make while you just combine everything in it then bake, however, when having to grate the cassava finely and squeezing the juice out, it may take a little effort for doing that :( 


Ingredients:
900 gr grated White cassava /Tapioca/ Ubi kayu  **

200 ml Thick coconut milk
2 Eggs

250 ml Water
200 gr Sugar
40 gr Butter
Few pandan leaves

Few drops of yellow colouring

Method:
- Boil water, pandan leaves and sugar, melt in butter, leave it aside.
- Combine coconut milk with eggs.
- Combine grated cassava and starch water**, pour in the boiling sugar water, it should thicken slightly.
- Pour coconut egg mixture, add in yellow colouring, stir until well incorporated.
- Pour batter into a 8 inch round baking pan. Bake in a preheated oven at 170/180C for 1 hour ( I bake 1 hour 25 mins) or until golden brown.

** Bought around 1.2 kg white cassava, peel and grate it. Since it could be slightly bitter, squeeze out the juice with cloth into a cup and let the juice sit until can see the starch settles on the bottom. Measure the cassava water layer and replace it with clean water (you may omit this step if you buy yellow cassava).

  16. This is one of my favourites but then never thought of making them as they're readily available. Also the grating of the tapioca, puts me off! Thumbs up to you!

  19. hi your kuih looks delicious. would love to try your recipe. Could you tell us why you drain the grated tapioca and then replaced it with plain water? Why drain it at all if you are going to put the water back in with the grated tapioca? thanks!

    1. Hi Floberita,

      Thanks for the compliment. The liquid of white cassava usually produce a bitter taste, therefore we replace it with plain water and mix back to the starch. You may omit this step if you will be able to buy yellow cassava. Happy baking! :)

  20. Hi DG, Your cheese chiffon cake looked yummy and well baked. I tried making it yesterday but was not successful, the cake sank. Do you know why?

    1. Hi Anon,

      I'm so sorry to hear that.
      Usually chiffon cake is sink, due to egg white underbeaten (not stiff enough) or left standing too long before folding. It could be also the cake batter under fold or underbaked.

      Don't give up, try again. I remembered the first time I beat the egg whites, cannot even beat till stiff :) Then I read somewhere some important point tips to beat the egg white:
      - make sure the bowl or the beater is clean from oil or water.
      - no egg yolk staint in egg white

      Here is the useful link regarding the chiffon tips & trouble :

      Happy Baking :)
