Kuih Bingka Ubi Kayu (Baked Tapioca Cake)

July 31, 2017 | Recipe by Bake with Paws



In Penang, we call this Chiu Chu Kuih.

I tried this recipe from Nonya Flavours with minor modifications.  It tasted very good but the texture is not QQ (springy or bouncy texture) like those sold by vendors.  I think the reason is because this recipe uses 100% Tapioca with very little Tapioca flour.

If you have any questions regarding this recipe or any other post, please leave me a comment in the “LEAVE A COMMENT” link and I will reply you as soon as possible.

    1. Hi there,
      Thank you for dropping by. You may want to try the 1kg grated tapioca recipe. Please multiply 1.25 for all the ingredients.

      1000g grated tapioca (from about 1 kg of Tapioca)
      315ml coconut milk
      125g brown sugar (please add more if you like sweeter)
      3/4 tsp salt
      2 - 3 eggs (medium)
      2 1/2 tbsp tapioca flour
      22g butter, softened

      Please double check my calculation. I hope is correct. Happy baking.
      Cheers:)

    1. Hi there, Thank you for dropping by. Yes, it is correct. Actually, you can round up to 20g and it is not going to make a lot of difference. Thanks

    1. Hi Fanny,

      I am so sorry for late response. The tapioca flour is actually help to hold the ingredients together. It should work too without the tapioca flour.

      Thanks,
