For the Toppings:

Prepare the Pan:

Assemble the Cake:

  • Pour the cassava batter into the prepared baking pan.
  • Using an ice cream scoop, drop spoonfuls of ube halaya evenly into different areas of the batter. Do not stir.

Bake the Cake:

  • Bake in the preheated oven for 40–50 minutes or until the top is lightly golden and the center is set.

Add the Topping:

  • Return to the oven and bake for another 10 minutes until the topping is set and slightly browned.

Cool and Serve:

  • Let the cake cool completely before slicing. Serve warm or chilled.
