  4. This is very detailed. If my baking skills weren't atrocious, I'd actually use this recipe. But knowing that I'll somehow mess up with the baking, I may never be able to use this to make cassava cake. But you know what? the next time I want a cassava cake, I'll pay my sister to use your recipe and bake me the cake. Thanks
