Traditional Bermuda Cassava Pie for the Holidays
Ingredients
  • 12 eggs
  • 1 tablespoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon ground nutmeg
  • 1 teaspoon ground dried ginger
  • 3 cups sugar
  • 3 sticks butter
  • 5 pounds frozen cassava (yucca), thawed and drained
Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to a medium-high temperature of 350 degrees Fahrenheit, or equivalently, 175 degrees Celsius.
2
Next, take a moment to lubricate a rectangular baking pan measuring nine inches by thirteen inches in size.
3
In a separate container, whisk together eggs, salt, vanilla extract, nutmeg, and ginger to create a harmonious blend of flavors.
4
Using an electric mixer, whip the mixture until it becomes light and airy, much like a fluffy cloud.
5
In another bowl, combine granulated sugar and butter, then proceed to blend them together until they form a smooth union.
6
Gradually add the egg mixture to the sugar-butter combination, taking care not to overmix.
7
Combine the two mixtures gently, ensuring that each component retains its individual identity.
8
In a spacious container, combine cassava and the egg-butter mixture.
9
Pour the entire contents into your prepared baking pan, taking care to fill it evenly.
10
Bake the pie in a preheated oven for one hour.
11
Subsequently, reduce the temperature to 250 degrees Fahrenheit, or 120 degrees Celsius, and continue baking until the pie is set, requiring an additional two to two and a half hours.
