Kakanin lovers, unite! I don't know if cassava cake classifies as kakanin (Filipino sweet desserts), but I've always had a soft spot for this. It's gooey, sticky, sweet and the grated cheese topping usually provides the counterpoint saltiness to the palate, and I simply love it!
I came across the Don Benito cassava cake shop along Sanchez St. in the Sta. Mesa area; the shop is located just across from the Lourdes Hospital. 12" x 12" cassava cakes are very reasonably priced at P180 and they even have flavored ones--macapuno (coconut sport), for example, for just a little bit more (P200). Unlike the ones sold in most carinderia stalls, these cassava cakes are freshly made--so evident when you can feel the gooeyness in your mouth!
